Petals BF Font Family was designed by John Bomparte and published by Bomparte’s Fonts. Petals BF contains 2 styles and family package options. Petals BF is inspired by the work of Dave West. It’s been infused with an abundance of pleasingly plump letterforms. I’ve also designed and created matching italics. Included are swashes reminiscent of 60s and 70s style lettering, but with a twist: among these swash variants where you typically might expect ball terminals, you’ll find sensuous curls and playful letterforms such as in h, k, m, and n. These may even call to mind that groovy look of ’60s bell-bottoms. Spread across capital and lowercases are swash variants for beginning, middle and ending letterforms.Petals BF is where Didone style harmoniously meets with the organic and curvaceous forms of Art Nouveau. Strange I know, but so is a duckbill platypus —and somehow they all seem to work surprisingly well. Among the many typographic niceties you’ll discover, are such Opentype features as Contextual and Stylistic alternates, Ligatures, Case-sensitive forms and Fractions. Please note: these magical features demand the use of Opentype-savvy applications, along with a discerning and judicious eye to ensure that, within certain word sets, swashes do not collide with each other. This may require selectively turning on/off Contextual alternates on individual letters.Petals BF is multilingual, and speaks the languages of Western, Eastern and Central Europe, in addition to Turkish and Baltic. It gets around. So let your creativity blossom with Petals BF in projects that involve headlines, magazine layouts, product packaging, logos, signage, branding and more.
