Piñata is an experimental division of TypeType, a foundry that was established in 2013 by Ivan Gladkikh and Alexander Kudryavtsev in St. Petersburg, Russia. TypeType’s primary goal is to design and release high-quality fonts that suit the diverse needs of graphic designers around the world, and that same ambition extends to Piñata and its own range of fonts and graphics.
Piñata offers a varied range of stylish products that are also affordable, particularly for designers who are just beginning to navigate their way through the field of graphic design. One of their more recent releases is Songbirds and Floral Patterns, a beautiful collection of nature-inspired illustrations with a decidedly warm, vintage tone.
Songbirds and Floral Patterns explores both air and land through a series of 30 patterns that include elements like wildflowers, leaves, branches, acorns, dragonflies, butterflies, birds, and feathers. The illustrations of each are heavily steeped in a timeless charm, featuring elements that are reminiscent of the style of drawings typically found in antique books about the natural world.
Songbirds and Floral Patterns includes 15 basic monochrome designs and 15 designs with pre-selected, harmonious color variations. Unique design variations are made possible through the source files themselves; Piñata has made it easy to add your own color palettes to both the background and graphic elements of each design.
The range of applications for Songbirds and Floral Patterns is unlimited. It’s a charming addition to any project that needs nature illustrations in a classic style, including handcrafted goods and gifts, wrapping paper, stationery, greeting cards, postcards, wallpaper, website design elements, fabric prints, merchandise, apparel, advertising, and product packaging – particularly for organic wares.
Songbirds and Floral Patterns includes a total of 120 files: each of the 15 monochrome patterns and 15 color patterns are all made available in AI, EPS, PNG, and JPG formats, giving designers a lot of flexibility with their preferred graphics program.
Piñata currently offers 16 products through YouWorkForThem, a medley that includes both fonts and graphics that graphic designers will love. Visit their portfolio to view the rest of their work and bookmark it so you won’t miss any of their future additions. If you love hand-drawn design elements, Piñata is going to be one of your favorite resources for design assets!
