ABOUT
Bangalore Display is a Kannada typeface
inspired by an analysis of
the bold, bottom
heavy hand lettered signs peppered across
Bangalore, India. The typeface combines
aspects of the hand lettered
signs with subtle influences drawn from strokes
created with an ice-cream stick.
The reference images were traced to analyze the stroke width, bowl width, terminals and other stylistic qualities
The traced letters were analyzed and components were created on graph paper. These components were used to form a cohesive family of alphabets.
