In the crowded urban environment, space for signage is always at a premium.
From crummy liquor stores to majestic theaters, vertical signage fills our cities, sometimes signs have nowhere to go but up.

Bungee is a font family that celebrates urban signage that stack the Latin alphabet, one letter on top of the other, in order to make dramatic use of limited space. Following their lead, Bungee fonts were designed to be able to adapt to horizontal or vertical text, so it is always ready to take your text in a new direction.

Bungee’s letterforms were designed to reinforce a sense of verticality. Round characters like <strong>O</strong> and diagonal characters like <strong>A</strong> are straight-sided, and letters like <strong>L</strong> and <strong>I</strong> gain serifs in order to create vertical words with well-defined left and right edges.</p>

<h4>Bungee Tint</h4>
<p>
Bungee Tint stores seven color palette aternatives inside the font itself, so it is possible to create chromatic effects even in the most basic typesetting environments. Hopefuly Bungee Color will help designers and developers explore and expand upon what color fonts have to offer.

Bungee color fonts would make it more specific :)

<p>
In vertical type, the downward flow of text becomes more important than the proportions of any individual letter. Bungee’s was drawn with round and diagonal characters with straight sides (see O and A), which reinforces their verticality and creates words with well-defined left and right edges.
Bungee was an early <a href="https://www.economist.com/babbage/2013/08/22/over-the-rainbow">experimental color font</a>, and has been updated as color font technology has developed over the past decade. Both Bungee Tint (flat colors) and <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Bungee+Spice">Bungee Spice</a> (gradients) contain multiple color palettes, so it is possible to create chromatic effects even in the most basic typesetting environments. Hopefully these fonts will help designers and developers explore the possibilities of what color fonts have to offer.

Just so you know, the link to your website appears below your designer credit on the About page, so adding it here may sound repetitive. Similarly, the link to Google Fonts won't be necessary since this would be on that same Google Fonts page.
