A bold, hand-drawn display face revived from Heberling's 1922 Basic Lettering, retaining the warmth and slight imperfections of the original hand.
About
Drawn by hand from a 1922 lettering source and refined for digital use, Zuma preserves the organic quality of its reference while adding symbols, numerals, alternates and diacritics for broad Western Latin coverage. Its thick, confident strokes carry a paper-cut texture suited to posters and headlines. The name references Zuma Beach, itself the product of a cartographer's error, a detail that informs the typeface's deliberate embrace of human imperfection.
Classification
A bold, hand-drawn display face based on a 1922 lettering reference, with visible imperfections and paper-cut stroke quality that place it firmly in the hand-lettered display category.
