Villanelle 2.0

Villanelle 2.0 epitomizes dangerously glamorous, high-fashion type design, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic assassin in BBC America’s Killing Eve. Originally conceived as a single uppercase style in 2020, this typeface has evolved over two years to embody the character of a charismatic, psychopathic killer who exudes exquisite style and violence.

Can a set of letters convey the unsettling charm of a killer who enjoys their work? Villanelle 2.0 answers with elegant curves, razor-sharp edges, plunging descenders, high-contrast strokes, and a dramatic flair that captures the essence of its namesake.

This major update features a complete redraw of every glyph, now offering a full alphabet, 7 weights, and 14 styles including a variable font with 2 axes. Enhanced with extended Latin language support, discretionary ligatures, stylistic sets, improved spacing, and greater consistency, Villanelle 2.0 is ready to make a bold statement in editorial layouts, branding, and any design project seeking a touch of stylish menace.
