Typography System for @vsco Brand Redesign: VSCO Gothic
VSCO Gothic is a custom typographic family designed by Göran Söderström from @lettersfromsweden . It is offered in 5 weights, including small caps versions. The typeface is intended for both digital consumption and print. The interest lies in not chasing perfection but rather realism.
VSCO does not overdo type. It finds the right proportions through the different typographic styles. It avoids over-decoration for an elegant and serene effect, even when we treat type as a graphic element. It also follows accessibility guidelines for informational text.
We also reduced the number of type sizes in our layouts as much as possible to declutter the space and create a coherent graphic language—only using type as a companion of visual content and the creator’s artwork that flows seamlessly around it.

The old logo featured a very human misalignment in the rings, while in the new one the rings parts are both powers of 2. This makes it feel like human photography was replaced by generative AI.
