Okay, everybody line up! Here’s a quirky font that I ran across in a book called Typology by the dynamic duo of Steven Heller and Louise Fili. Unfortunately, these usually reliable type historians got the designer’s name wrong, and failed to mention that the font shown was only one of countless permutations possible with the Super Veloz arsenal of interchangeable fonts designed by demented Spaniard Juan Trochut Blanchard. I only had the word “CONGA” to work from, but those few characters gave me some insight into the “rules” for the font (and odd rules they are), and I took it from there. The result is a bumpin’, jumpin’ and bongo-thumpin’ fun font, suitable for any festive occasion.
