Typography Superstars

Jessica Hische

Hische grew up in Pennsylvania and became a freelance designer in 2006 after studying Graphic Design at university. She already has a wealth of successes to her name, having worked with high-profile clients such as Penguin Books and film director Wes Anderson. Some of Hirsche’s typefaces include Buttermilk, Tilda and Brioche.
She works between San Fransisco,CA and Brooklyn,NY.

Hische has used many different typefaces throughout her career, but one particular typeface caught my attention due to my love for filming which is the Silencio Sans typeface.

 Silencio Sans was originally developed for CAA’s (Creative Artists Agency) to be used on their Friday Night Party invitation in 2014. The party’s theme was “old Hollywood” so the design inspiration came from movie title credits. The name Silencio references silent films, but this font would feel as at home in magazines, invitations, and fancy food packaging as it does on the silver screen.

To me this was designed to bring back the old traditional font that would bring a sense of nostalgia for those who see this particular typeface and bring in a sense of class to it.

The font in fact really struck a good impression on myself who enjoys a little old-fashioned for theater and class to show off a little appreciation for things that were left behind for us to utilize in our own modern take of it which why history is important to keep a note of for ourselves.
