Polka
Ian Adjeidu · Ian Selorm Adjeidu · 2022
A puffed, balloon-style display face by Ian Adjeidu and Manas Trivedi, built for headline use in branding and editorial contexts where a soft, inflated aesthetic is the point.
About
Polka is a single-weight display typeface built around soft, inflated letterforms drawn from bubble and balloon typography. Designed by Ian Selorm Adjeidu and Manas Trivedi in 2022, it was conceived as a tool to let designers produce balloon-style type without lettering from scratch. Best suited to Illustrator and Photoshop, it fits experimental logos, magazine headlines and playful branding work.
Classification
Single-style display typeface built entirely around inflated, balloon-like letterforms. No weight axis, no italics, no condensed cut. Letterforms are fully rounded with a consistent puffed silhouette, placing this firmly in the decorative display category rather than any structural type classification.
