The Anatomy of a Typeface
By FontSide · June 2026
Every typeface is a system of decisions — about stroke contrast, x-height, spacing, and rhythm. The best ones feel invisible: you stop seeing the letters and start hearing the voice behind them. That transparency is the hardest thing to design.
A high x-height opens up the counters and makes small text breathe. Tight tracking pulls a headline together; loose tracking gives a caption room to exhale. None of these choices are accidents — they are arguments about how reading should feel.

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, its 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.
