Beon Display
Noir Blanc Rouge · Bastien Sozeau · 2011

About
Beon was created by Bastien Sozeau for the film BangBang by Raphael L. Lungo, where it appeared as actor name cards and in the final drop. The letterforms use stencil gaps to simulate the broken illumination of neon tubing, giving it an immediate retro-cinematic quality. Despite its decorative premise, the font ships with over 1,000 glyphs, extensive OpenType features including old-style figures, tabular variants and circled characters, and support for 360 languages.
Classification
