About
Designed by Michael Parson and released in January 2023, Bulbia combines bold strokes with pronounced contrast, drawing its distinctive character from teardrop shapes found in Middle Eastern design. Despite offering only one weight, an extensive set of OpenType features including swash letters, decorative titling forms and precomposed word marks gives the family considerable flexibility for headline and branding applications. It covers an extended Latin character set across ISO Latin-1 through Latin-4 encodings, available as OTF and WOFF2 formats.
