A single-weight tubular display face by Jules Bigot, its letterforms built from rounded pipe-like strokes designed for bold posters and book covers.
About
Daruma 2.0 is a decorative display typeface from French designer Jules Bigot, distinguishing itself through letterforms constructed from curved, tube-like strokes that lend each character a three-dimensional quality. With 99 glyphs covering the basic Latin alphabet, it is purpose-built for large-scale headline work on posters and covers. The distinctive pipe aesthetic is striking at display sizes but offers little flexibility beyond that context.
Classification
Single-weight decorative display face built from rounded tube-like strokes. The pipe/tube construction gives each letterform a three-dimensional, mechanical quality. Firmly in headline-only territory with no text-weight companion. 99-glyph coverage suggests basic Latin only.
