Babol
Aiyari Studio · Ricky Rinaldi · 2024
A four-weight bubble-letter display face with soft, swollen curves pulled from 1960s hand lettering and psychedelic sleeve art.
About
Babol swells every letter into a rounded, candy-bright shape somewhere between vintage psychedelic poster lettering and 90s pop graphics. Four weights run from an even-toned Regular to a loud Black, all sharing the same playful, bulbous character. A large glyph set with OpenType alternates and ligatures keeps repeat letters from looking identical across a layout.
Classification
Ultra-heavy display face built from soft, bulbous curves derived from 1960s hand lettering and psychedelic sleeve art; its rounded, swollen forms sit it in the bubble-letter display tradition rather than any text category.
