Paquito Font Family

Paquito is a small family of serif fonts for use in display sizes. Its three weights have been quite whimsically drawn by type designer Juanjo Lopez. The letterforms are condensed in width, and they all look as if they had been hand-lettered with a fine-tipped pen. This creates a high degree of irregularity in the design. Many of Paquito’s uppercase letters are top-heavy; for example, the upper counter of the ‘R’ is much larger than its lower one. The numerals are neither lining figures nor oldstyle figures; instead, their tops fall somewhere between the x-height and cap-height, and they feature some descending elements, too.
