## About Bungee

Bungee is a display typeface built around the look of city shop signs, where lettering often has to run down a narrow strip instead of across. David Jonathan Ross drew the Latin alphabet so that it can be stacked vertically as well as set in a horizontal line. In the specimen the letters are very heavy and wide, close to square in proportion, with softly rounded outer corners and small rectangular counters; the lowercase keys give the same capitals. Bungee has one Regular style and is not a variable font, but it is the base of a display superfamily whose other members, Hairline, Inline, Outline and Shade, are separate families. The font holds 1,053 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. According to the official notes, backing from Google and The Font Bureau made the open release possible. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Vertical signs and banners**: The alphabet was designed to be stacked letter over letter, the situation of a sign fixed to the side of a building.
- **Shopfronts and market stalls**: Square, heavy capitals with rounded corners read as painted or cut signage at a distance.
- **Posters and event titles**: The wide letters make a short word fill the sheet, with small counters adding to the solid look.
- **Logos, badges and stickers**: A single block-like style with no thin parts reproduces cleanly at small sizes and in one colour.
- **Game and app title screens**: All-caps lettering with soft corners gives menus and level names an arcade-style tone.

## Things to know

- **Capitals only**: Typing lowercase gives the same capital forms, as the two identical alphabet rows in the specimen show.
- **One style in this family**: Bungee itself has a single Regular style. Hairline, Inline, Outline and Shade are published as separate families.
- **Large glyph set for a display face**: The font contains 1,053 glyphs, covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese.
