Celebrating Women in Design
Did you know that out of the over 1000 fonts in the Google Font library, a mere 5% are crafted by women?
At Uplevyl, we take pride in showcasing the incredible work of women font designers.
For instance, we embrace the beautifully crafted Roboto Slab font created by Christian Robertson, with contributions from the talented Veronika Burian.
Its clean lines and modern aesthetics make it a favorite among our design team.
We also celebrate the Abril Fatface font, a masterpiece designed by the dynamic duo of Veronika Burian and José Scaglione, founders of the renowned type design studio TypeTogether.
Its bold elegance adds a touch of sophistication to our platform.
Last but not least, we adore the elegant Kreon font brought to life by the brilliant Greek type designer Julia Sysmäläinen.
Its timeless appeal and harmonious proportions make it a perfect choice for our visual identity.
By embracing these fonts and the incredible women behind them,
we pay homage to their talent and contributions to the world of typography.
Celebrating Women in Art & Culture
Our backgrounds are meticulously curated, drawing inspiration from women who have left an indelible mark on art and culture worldwide. Like our fonts, each background pattern is significant, reflecting the influence of remarkable women throughout history.
Intricately Thoughtful Arabic
Our Arabic tile background pays tribute to the women who played a pivotal role in creating these mesmerizing designs.
Not only were they responsible for producing the tiles, but they also contributed to the intricate patterns adorning them.
Among them, Fatima bint Muhammad al-Fihriya al-Qurashiya stands out — a visionary who founded the University of Al Quaraouiyine,
the world's oldest university,
Moroccan-Inspired Basketweave
Our Basketweave pattern is an ode to the Berber women of Morocco, renowned for their rich cultural heritage of basket weaving and rug making. Their artistry and meticulous craftsmanship have earned them recognition worldwide, empowering them to achieve economic independence and support their families.
Elegantly Modernist Art Deco
Last but certainly not least, our Art Deco background draws inspiration from the trailblazing designer Dorothy Draper. Dorothy revolutionized the accessibility of good design, advocating for its availability to all, not just a privileged few. Her visionary work paved the way for popularizing Mid-century modern style in the post-war era.
Celebrating Women's Mark on Line Art
With its simplicity and elegance, line art holds a special place in our visual narrative at Uplevyl, embodying the profound impact of feminine creativity and expression throughout history.
This art form dates back to the Venus of Laussel around 15,000 BC in modern-day France, where etched lines on limestone marked the beginning of women's deep connection with line art, often symbolizing fertility and abundance.
The role of women in the evolution of line art continued into the Paleolithic era with the first cave paintings, where they used natural pigments to depict their lives, beliefs, and the world around them, serving not just as artists but as storytellers of their communities.
Throughout history, women have played a pivotal role in the development of line art, bringing unique perspectives and emotional depth to the medium.
From Frida Kahlo's surreal sketches to Georgia O'Keeffe's visual explorations, their work highlights the enduring relationship between women and line art,
underscoring the significant contributions of women to the creative world.
Celebrating Uplevyl's Bouquet of Dreams: Flowers Reimagined
Uplevyl celebrates the profound legacy of women's interaction with the natural world,
tracing back to prehistoric times when their roles as food gatherers laid the foundation for agriculture and early medical practices.
Their deep understanding of plants, distinguishing between the nutritious and poisonous, ensured survival and influenced dietary habits and the domestication of plants.
Despite facing barriers to formal education in the sciences centuries later,
women's resilience and creativity led them to make significant contributions through botany—a field more accessible and less constrained by societal prejudices.
This engagement served as both a pursuit of knowledge and a quiet rebellion against the limitations imposed on them, enabling them to contribute foundational work in the natural sciences.
Today, the legacy of women, from the gatherers of prehistoric times to today's pioneering women scientists and innovators, is unmistakable,
Uplevyl's branding, inspired by plants and flowers, pays homage to this enduring legacy, symbolizing growth, resilience, and the natural connection between humanity and the earth.
It reflects our commitment to celebrating the transformative power of women's creativity, tenacity, and significant impact on science and society.
