Juma
Cyla Costa Studio · Cyla Costa · 2022
A chromatic display typeface with organic, sculptural letterforms evoking tropical birds and marbled textures, created in collaboration with Naipe Foundry and awarded Grand Prix at the Brazil Design Awards 2023.
About
Juma is built for use at large scale, where its layered colour forms and hypnotic curves read as much as illustration as typography. Each letter carries a sculptural quality that makes it equally at home as a drop cap, headline or abstract pattern. A monochrome version accompanies the full colour release, extending its range without sacrificing the character of the original.
Classification
A colour font designed exclusively for large-scale display use, featuring chromatic layered letterforms with organic, sculptural qualities that place it firmly in the decorative display category rather than any conventional serif or sans-serif tradition.
