Bonita
Parkinson Type Design · Jim Parkinson
An all-caps bold hand-lettering face drawn from early 20th-century movie poster traditions, heavier and more informal than Broadway.
About
Bonita takes its cues from the exuberant hand-lettered titling found on silent-era and early sound film posters, pushing well beyond the refined strokes of Broadway into something decidedly bolder and looser. Its all-caps setting makes it suited to headlines and display use where visual impact matters more than subtlety. The result sits closer to sign-painting than typographic convention.
Classification
All-caps bold hand-lettering style inspired by early 20th-century movie poster lettering. Decorative display category is appropriate given its theatrical weight, informal character and resemblance to Broadway-era titling.
