Baloo 2 is an extension of the earlier Baloo project. The new Baloo 2 includes additional glyphs, engineering
|
|
|
|
|
improvements, and has been extended to five weights, ranging from the light footed Regular to the affable ExtraBold.
|
|
|
|
|
The lighter weights retain Baloo’s characteristic bounce, but they do so slightly, infusing life into each word.
|
|
|
|
|
This allows the new family to freely fraternise with texts of all sizes and temperaments — be it short bursts or
|
|
|
|
|
copious reams, demanding headlines or whispering bylines. Carefree yet confident, sprightly yet versatile, the
|
|
|
|
|
renewed family of Baloo promises to bring warmth to every project.
