BEBOP DELUXE TYPEFACE

STUDENT PROJECT

Bebop Deluxe is inspired by vintage wooden characters. Its original reference was taken from lettering that was observed on an antique globe light located outside of the Anderson Public Safety Building. Bebop Deluxe is a decorative typeface with a distinctive western tone. Though the original reference had little to no obtainable history and  wasn’t originally used in a western context, i have resurrected and re-contextualized it to bring a spark of the Old West to contemporary environments. Bebop Deluxe is available in Regular, Outline, and Double-Outline versions, and is intended for use at display scale. 

This typeface was also displayed in a type show titled “TRANSCEND”, as well as a published specimen book at the end of 2023, hosted by AU Type Foundry.
