Inspired by my favorite Italian word, fantasmini, I created a font to capture both the surreal and whimsical aspects of this word. Used to describe tiny white no-show socks, the word translates to "little ghost", both because the socks disappear on your foot and because they resemble the classic shape of a ghost. Despite being attributed to a mundane aspect of our lives, I became enamored with this adorable and accurate monicker given to the basic white sock. 

 

The font Fantasmini features a bold serif, as well as an accented tail, making each letter its own 'fantasmino'.
