Special Moment

 

Special Moments is a sans-serif font with a hand-drawn appearance and blocky build. The default version of this font is titled “SPECIAL MOMENTS Regular,” and features a black outline with space in the middle that can appear in any color. The “SPECIAL MOMENTS BOLD Regular” features the same outline style, with the outline being thicker than the regular, but the center of the letterforms staying empty/available for color. The last version of this font is the “SPECIAL MOMENTS FILL Regular,” which removes the outline and fills the center for a bold and blocky style.

The upper-case font set, as previously described, is blocky, rough, and rounded on the edges. No two letters sit the same on the baseline in the same way, nor do any two letters lean exactly the same. The flourishes and variations between the letters convey a relaxed and fun impression, rather than the professionalism of a traditional font like Helvetica.

The lower-case font set is highly similar to the upper-case.
The majority of the letters are closely comparable to traditional
upper-case counterparts. B-h and j-z are proportionally smaller in size,
but appear similar to their upper-case counterparts. To differentiate
between upper and lowercase, lowercase letters have either different
or significantly more flourishes. For example, the lower-case “o” has
an additional loop at the top, reminiscent of a cursive writing style.
While “a” and “i” appear similar to other lowercase examples of the letters.

The letters and symbols are most similar to the upper-case set, mostly free of additional flourishes. Symbols like periods, brackets, and bars have unique corresponding designs. A period appears as a Heart, the left curly bracket appears as one style of star, while the right curly bracket appears as a modified “shining” version of this star. Then the bar has a second style of star, and the logical not symbol appears as the shining version of this second star.

 
 
 
Display fonts like Special Moments are very popular in the 21st century, but in the history of typography, they are quite young. The first display fonts began to appear in the latter half of the 19th century, a result of mass advertising and widespread printing. With the rise of modern corporations and commerce came the desire for distinction in advertising, and thus designers were tasked with creating eye-catching and unique fonts that would pave the path for greater expression in future print, advertisements, and daily use.

The Special Moments font is a playful hand-drawn style font, created by Maria Feliz in 2024 as a vector font. Created with YouTube thumbnails, Instagram posts, quotes, and stickers in mind, this font is designed to evoke a natural, playful, and whimsical feel.
