Prominent Title Fonts and Flowing Paragraphs

In the quest to promote an authentic and earthy feel, our designers chose Cantata One, a strong serif typeface originally inspired by hand-written letters made with a pointed pen on an old handmade map of NYC. It just doesn’t get more grounded than that.


Lato and Cantata One both complement each other and add needed contrast to scribe.


To compliment and contrast the powerful expression of Cantata One, we picked a flowing sans-serif script for paragraph styles. Your readers will find a familiar harmony and elegance in the warm but stable letterforms of Lato; providing a transparent reading experience.

Natural, Wholesome, Warm

Scribe is built on a foundation of warm brown shades, signaling wholesomeness, reliability and security.
