Blueberry
Eliott Grunewald · Eliott Grunewald
A comic book display typeface modelled on the mechanical hand-lettering tradition of Franco-Belgian comics, named as a tribute to the Giraud and Charlier western saga.
About
Blueberry draws on the long tradition of comic book lettering, where handwritten forms were systematised into repeatable mechanical type. The design takes its name from the classic French western comic series by Jean Giraud and Jean-Michel Charlier, honouring both the lettering style of the medium and its authors. Rounded edges and casual curves give it a light, approachable character suited to editorial, children's publishing and branding.
Classification
Blueberry imitates the mechanical hand-lettering style characteristic of comic book typography, placing it firmly in the display category with a comic/handwriting subcategory. Its rounded, whimsical letterforms are designed for legibility at larger sizes in the tradition of Franco-Belgian bande dessinée lettering.
