The Boogie Typeface: Return to the Disco Era! German graphic designer Ralf Weissmantel created Boogie in 2003. Boogie is an ironic reference to pop art, and to disco lettering from the 1960s and 70s. Its round forms and outlines evoke the flashing, pulsating lights and music of that era. Shipping with five different, width-compatible fonts, the Boogie typeface has four different components: an outlined letterform is the base element, and forms the first font. Three additional fonts may be layered over top of this base, surrounding the first font with up to three bubble-outlines. In graphics applications like Adobe PhotoShop or Illustrator, these elements can each be assigned different colors. There is also a fifth font, which contains the base outlined letterform pre-surrounded by three additional outlines of the same color. Take a deeper look into the Boogie font family 4. New: TypoTechnica 2005: The Event for all Type-Techies Linotype Library is pleased to announce its third TypoTechnica Conference, which will be held from the 17th through 19th of February 2005 at the St Bride Printing Library in London.
