Bolero-esque, a Vietnamese Font Family



BOLERO-ESQUE - A VIETNAMESE RETRO FONT BUNDLE

Bolero-esque (named after a slow, danceable Spanish music genre and later becoming a Southern Vietnamese music genre) is a family of 6 distinguished, highly characterized retro fonts inspired by vintage bolero CD/VCD covers, mostly hand-drawn (and later collaged with photos) by renowned artists such as Duy Liem, Kha Thuy Chau and recently Lam Nguyen Kha Liem. The family includes 6 fonts of 6 different vibes to try to fit in all of your imaginable purposes: Physica, a geometric sans serif with several width alternatives, recreating the craft of drawing and cutting letter with compasses and rulers; Rustra, a hand-drawn retro script recreating the natural hand writings and signatures with several ligatures; Anarchia, a weirdly funky hand drawn sans serif which embraces the chaos; Selectra, an unicase sans serif with empty counters for uppercase and filled counters for lowercase, recreating the signature motif occasionally used for hand drawn song titles and covers; Reducta, a sans serif constructed by most 'reducted' forms of concrete geometry and Epika, a square-ish sans serif borrowing the brush strokes of letters drawn with technical pens. All of these six have customized Vietnamese diacritics that mimics the way they're originally drawn (small, thin, heavily emphasized in an unsual way that helps them stand out) and is specifically handcrafted for designs that need a retro, organic touch and scream Vietnamese like song titles and CD covers, digital posters and likewise. The whole family is now listed exclusively on Creative Market.
