About Perva Font Family


Perva is a suite of three eye-catching fonts inspired by display types from the 19th century. This unconventional family has three different font styles that can be used individually or combined to build a playfulness multi-typeface design system. It is suitable for titling, posters headlines, book covers, packaging, social media, and branding.

Perva brings together a Slab serif font, a.k.a Antique or Egyptian; a Reverse-contrast or Italian; and an Old English Blackletter.

The design is inspired by the display types listed as “Typographic monstrosities” in Thomas C. Hansard’s book Typographia (1825).

What he found absurd was understood here as interesting and enjoyable to introduce a contemporary approach of the types widely sold by foundries such as Bruce’s New York Type-Foundry and Caslon Foundry.

Each of the three fonts holds around 400 glyphs, covering the languages of Northern, Western, Central, and Southern Europe. Opentype features include case-sensitive forms and a couple of alternates for the Blackletter style.

About Eller Type

Eller Type represents the latest endeavor in Emerson Eller's professional journey, focusing particularly on the art of type design. He is a professor, academic researcher, and independent type designer based in Brazil. Eller's type designs reflect his profound interest in history and vernacular culture. The foundry debuted with the release of the Sagarana font family in 2017, garnering considerable acclaim and ranking among the top twenty Hot New Fonts upon its release in Myfonts. Since then, Eller has delved deeper into type design matter, combining historical research and technical studies to develop the first text font, Itacolomi. This font family stems from extensive investigations into Scottish-style types crafted in Brazil circa 1820. Following that, Perva was published – an innovative multiple-classification font family inspired by display types from the 19th century. Alongside retail fonts, Eller Type's portfolio has continued to expand with commissioned works and collaborations. In short, Eller Type combines historical elements with contemporary trends to create high-quality fonts.
