Spring is here and we take advantage of the rainy season to enjoy Niagara Falls in all its splendor.
…The huge energy diverted from the falls to run some of the industries of niagara falls. but you had to know that this relationship existed, and it was a business of many millions of dollars: niagara hydro. To the uneducated eye, those relationships were invisible.
“Niagara” – Joyce Carol Oates
Typographic combination
The chosen font is Google Font Afacad with 8 styles within the same family (including italics), which makes it very useful for an editorial project.
Color combination
We play with shades of blue to reflect the intensity of the water and combine it with the green of outdoor nature.

April may be one of my least favorite months of the year. We are in spring, but we are not yet in May, the spring month par excellence. For this reason, to counteract, I have decided to spend it in one of the cities that I like the most in the world… Paris.
We leave behind the Eiffel Tower and go up to the Sacre Coeur from which we can enjoy views of the entire city. Time passes, but we remain captivated by its light and color.
Typographic combination
In this case, the chosen font is the Hanken Grotesk, a Google Font with 18 types within the same family, which makes it very versatile for a typographic project.
Color combination
We base ourselves on an atmosphere of purple and violet tones and we contrast it with the green, pink and yellow of the clouds.
We hope you enjoy this month!

After traveling to Neverland and sharing a month with Peter Pan, we pack our bags to go to Oz. We will not walk the road alone; we have fellow travellers who will make us grow and face adversity. An exciting journey as we hope this new month will be.
Font combination
In this case we combine the Google Font inter, which we saw in this article, with the Bounties font. Two different styles that contrast perfectly.
Colour combination
We start with two colours that cannot be missing, the green of the emerald city and the yellow of the tiles that will bring us to it. From there, we take pinkish and blue colours that combine with each other and that transport us to the atmosphere of Oz.

We started April taking a great leap that takes us from Europe to Oceania… We are going to the antipodes! The trip is long but it is worth it. Our bike accompanies us and we only leave it to one side to see the sunset from the Sydney Opera House. And now… we rest and enjoy the city!
Font combination
For the numbers we used the Jost typeface, a Google Font with 18 types within the same family that make it perfect to combine with itself in any typeface project. For the name of the month, the chosen font is Brouwerij DEMO Regular, a very creative and original font.
Colour combination
In this case, as we are at sunset, we have chosen a range that takes us back to those moments: a combination of orange, reddish, earthy tones … with the green of the sea.

If last month we said that spring was coming, in April we already realized that little by little winter has been left behind and although we still have some memories of it, spring has come to stay.
There are still rainy days, but these days will help the field to have flowers that we will enjoy next month. We used to say that storks came in February, but little by little they have been adapting to changes in weather and we don’t stop seeing them all winter. Now in April they have come down to the shore and are accompanying us closer.
Font combination
For the numbers the chosen typeface is Darker Grotesque with 7 types within the same family and creative and elegant characters. We combine it with Mansalva Regular, a handwritten font that provides contrast to the straight lines of the google font.
Colour combination
For this spring we opted to create an atmosphere of pink tones before the month of May, which we hope will be in bloom. We leave the earth tones behind and the green begin to be seen everywhere.

Almost without realising, we are in April, the spring month par excellence. We leave behind the winter and we wait for a month that even if changes, it lets glimpse what is coming… Some months of light and colour.
We dedicate this month to the crocodiles, since they also love the heat! They have been waiting all winter to get out on the banks and get into the warm water of the rivers.
We are also waiting for the spring on the river bank letting ourselves be drunk by that atmosphere …
Happy April.
Font combination
For the numbers we have chosen a google font, the Aleo, which we are sure to talk about in a few months. We combined it with Arco, a font with a lot of originality and style.
The combination provides contrast due to differences in thickness and design, which in turn gives the illustration a very special style.
Colour combination
We are transported to an environment of wetlands, where green is predominant. This floods everything and makes us feel that feeling of calm and peace that the humid heat gives.
This is contrasted with brown, which provides stability and the feeling that we are at home.

April is the month of flowers and reading, of the magic of books, and we already dedicated our calendar to them the previous year. That’s why this year we wanted to dedicate it to something also with a lot of magic, so for a little while we forget our problems and become a child again, the circus.
If the previous month we were riding a bicycle enjoying the good weather and spring, this month is the time to sit down and enjoy the show and realise that nothing is impossible.
Let’s enjoy April and take advantage of each of your spring days. And let’s take a run, because May is and will be a very special month! 😉
Font combination
For the numbers and the days of the week we go back to using a Google Font, in this case the Zila Slab. It is a typeface with ten types within the same family, which makes it very versatile to make different combinations between them with the use of different thicknesses. It is a serif whose ornaments are very elegant and creative.
In addition, for the name of the month we use a very creative and original font, the Mash-up. All characters have a distinction, which makes them special.
Colour combination
On a landscape in neutral tones the illustration is developed, in which red and blue predominate, filling the drawing and making our attention focus. However these colours are not the only ones that seem since they are complemented with other pastel colours such as pink and green.
All combine to create a circus atmosphere in which we can sit and enjoy the show with total tranquility.
Enjoy the month and each of the days it gives you! 😉

There is no doubt April is the month of spring; no one can discuss it. Although we carry some days of March in it, it is in April when we realize that it has arrived.
However, April is not only the month of spring, but also the month of the book and that is why we wanted to pay homage to it. This month goes through all those words, which separated perhaps do not tell us anything, but together they are the ones in charge to transport us to the most incredible places and tell us stories that we would never have imagined.
“A book is a proof that humans are capable of doing magic” Carl Sagan
Font combination
As it could not be otherwise, in this month we have used a handwriting style, which reminds us of the manuscripts of previous centuries. The chosen one is Helena, a premium font.
For the numbers we looked for a font that contrasts with the handwriting style, so we chose the well-known font in Silo Creativo Roboto. To give a more “literary” air we use it in italics.
Colour combination
For the combination of colours, we have thought about spring, so these are bright and very strong. It emphasizes the green colour of the typewriter combined with the different shades of its complementary colour, the pink, and at the same time we contrast them with a more neutral background.
In this way, we find in the complementary combination the perfect balance to transport us to a spring and reading climate! 😉
We hope you like it and enjoy this spring month with a good book under the sun!

There is a famous saying (at least in Spain) that says “April showers”. And it is because April has always been the month of the rains. This year, in which we do not know when winter ends and when spring begins (although officially we are in it), we cannot know exactly whether we really will use the official uniform of April.
But we are ready for it…
Because it rains, it thunders or shines, nothing will stop us. With our uniform, we can achieve everything we set out; we just have to think about it.
Happy April! 🙂

Since many of you wonder about the fonts used in calendars, prints and other graphic elements we share, from today we will draw a section in which we will discuss about fonts with their corresponding download link.
In this case we have combined two fonts, one Sans Serif and another hand lettering to create contrast. Normally the most creative typography is used for the month and some detail that we want to highlight of the calendar, and for numbers we use the original Sans Serif, but with simpler lines.
The Sans Serif typeface used is the WorkSans. We talked about it in the article font combinations and you can download here (it’s a Google Fonts.)
For April we chose a typeface that is not free. As I said many times, the Google Fonts are a great resource, but sometimes it is good to invest in a font. In this case, the chosen font is the Isabella Script, a very elegant hand lettering typeface that blends perfectly with Sans Serif and that you can download here.
The result, as you can see, is two fonts very strong that complement and blend perfectly.
Colour combinations
As you can see, to the choice of colours we have selected four combinations from the color wheel. In this way, we join two groups of complementary colours: blue / yellow and green / pink, being the main colour yellow.
As you can see, we have chosen different shades within combinations up to a range that fits with what we are looking for. The result is a colorful and very spring range that we hope to be with you during this month! 😉

Although sometimes April is a bridge month that ends faster than we would like, it is also a month of events. Spring has arrived so in the days it does not rain, we can enjoy the sun and especially more daylight hours.
It is also the month in which we can celebrate one of the nicest things “the day of the book.” Because without words we are nothing, and that as Hitchcock said: “there is something more important than logic, imagination.”
So we can only wish you a happy April and especially we recommend you to keep reading 😉
