BN Modern Ombra specimen from Brandon Nickerson

A geometric reworking of Motter Ombra that replaces teardrop counters with circular cut-outs and redraws several characters from scratch.

About

BN Modern Ombra is a display typeface derived from Othmar Motter's 1973 classic, rebuilt around circular geometry rather than the original's teardrop forms. It originated as custom logotype lettering and was subsequently expanded into a full font. The result is a bolder, more simplified inline shadow face suited to headlines and identity work.

Classification

Geometric sans-serif with inline shadow treatment, redrawn from Motter Ombra (1973). Uses circular rather than teardrop construction for cut-out strokes.
