Curvy, chunky, and compact. The Agbalumo display typeface has been designed to represent and capture the beauty of African languages. Primarily taking shape from the use of a brush pen, it's charming, playful, and cute look lends itself to a variety of commercial and cultural use cases.
Agbalumo is a single weight multilingual font. The glyph set includes standard opentype features and an assortment of stylistic alternates. Agbalumo can be used for African languages that make use of the Latin script, the Ge'ez script, European languages, and Vietnamese.
Agbalumo is designed by ColumnType
Founded by Raphael Alegbeleye with the primary aim of creating and supporting beautiful, distinct fonts representing African languages.
