The Sid Gentle Films Ltd. producer will start filming Villanelle, the prequel of the award-winning Killing Eve. The new series’ identity has been created through the design of a typeface that reflects the show’s character.
The typography itself is the protagonist in the logotype, as well of being part of the history and defining the titles. Whereas SUNS Light Beam is refined and slim, SUNS Black Gloom is more formal and leaner.
Lighter weight evokes delicateness and sophistication while the heavier weight provokes a sensation of stability and elegance. It is this diversity of tone of voice that makes these two styles so versatile.
SUNS is a sans serif display typeface based on a four-circle grid, with a circular design that is so recognizable. Perfect symmetry and pure geometry are the basis for the creation of SUNS typeface.
It represents the elegance of the Art Decó movement in a modern way. SYNOPSISOur favorite assassin returns to tell us first-hand her past. She was born like Oxana, she went to an orphanage and to prison, she was recruited, trained and finally, she became Villanelle.
Then, she met Eve. Who is Villanelle? She an orphan hired killer. She is both charming and psychopath. She loves to kill in a creative and flamboyant way. She is very talented and is fluent in many languages.
She is funny, rude and obsessive. Everything she earns, she invests in haute couture. She is ambitious for power and knowledge, but she lacks something: a family. The styles of SUNS typography have their own tone and each one represents, respectively, strength and weakness.
This duality is intended to predict what will happen in the story and how it will affect our protagonist. The show introduces characters and announces new locations using the typography in a giant size to cause the greatest visual impact.
