    The wordmark is actually a modified version of Quinella. The Collins team made the original version and sent it to me for clean-up.

  2. Thanks for chiming in, Dave! Interesting. I’ve added Quinella to and removed Duckie from the typeface credits. I see that the letterforms have been customized. The middle stem of m with the returning construction and also the idea of a gi ligature are clearly taken from Quinella. However, some other details like the terminals of n, e or c suggest that Collins looked at Ekamai, too. Here’s a quick visual comparison of the wordmark with Ekamai (left) and Quinella (right). The “Dream Big” application likewise appears to use lowercase letters from Ekamai (with swash caps from Quinella).

    Thanks, Florian. The caps on the hairbrush are from Duckie though, as the original contributor said ;)

  4. Are you sure? They look like Quinella’s swash caps to me.

    Haha, yeah you’re right. I didn’t realise they were so similar. Don’t even recognise my own fonts properly. How embarrassing!
