- Info
Ladna is a grotesk-style typeface that doesn’t take itself too seriously and has a friendly presence through its slight quirks which it doesn’t bother hiding. The typeface interprets certain clumsiness of soviet-era enamel street signs found around Estonia, giving it a relaxed tone while not interrupting the reading experience too much. Ladna sits in the “workhorse” category of typefaces that can just as easily be used for headlines and running text. The word “Ladna” comes from the Russian “Ладно” which literally means “Okay” but is also used to describe something as alright/easy/simple/familiar etc.
