Winnipeg Ghost Signs
I traveled to Winnipeg last week for a family reunion, and was floored by the quantity and quality of painted ads on the buildings. A few of my favorites:
Bungee in Google Docs
Now that Bungee is on Google Fonts, I am using it on my most important Google spreadsheets!
Winslow State Park
I love Trail Type. It’s an excellent collection of letters found out in nature, curated by Scribble Tone. Here are two of my recent contributions, from my recent trip up Mt. Kearsarge. I love their dimensionality and the consistency of their bowed, rounded forms.
Bungee Pixel on Older Systems
Checking out the Bungee Emoji alphabet on older systems. Some letters melt away but it’s still somewhat legible! 👌
Bungee’s Stacked Accents
Stacking letters gets extra tricky when accents are involved. Bungee’s accented characters are spaced and kerned so that they set well with other letters, even other accents. Here are three examples from Portuguese, Turkish, and Polish that show Bungee’s accent-to-accent spacing.
- Krężoły: Polish, the name of several villages in Poland
- Üşümek: Turkish, to feel cold or chilly
- Coraçao: Portuguese, heart
The ever-hilarious Chris Lewis came up with a great term for this: staccents!
