About Petals BF Font Family


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.

About Bomparte's Fonts

Bomparte’s Fonts, is a modest type foundry that was launched in 2006 by type designer John Bomparte, at the urging and encouragement of his friend and colleague Bob Alonso (BA Graphics). John’s love and passion for letters began while in art college, and in the middle of studies in typography. His eyes were suddenly awakened to the rich diversity of various lettering styles. He would sometimes stare for hours on end, at the different typestyles shown in such dry-transfer lettering catalogs as Letraset® and Zipatone®. To John, this was “eye candy”! It wasn’t long after that he discovered he’d been blessed with the ability to remember and identify the many typefaces to be found everywhere, from supermarket aisles to bookstore shelves. Later on, John’s experience in type design blossomed at the legendary Photo-Lettering, Inc. where he was assistant to renowned type designer, Ed Benguiat. Working in such an environment also offered him the unique opportunity to be surrounded by such other great type designers as Tony Stan, Vic Caruso, Vincent Pacella. However, with the emergence of the new computer technologies, the once photogenic letter inevitably had to go digital. So John embraced this new reality, as much of what used to be done laboriously by hand, could now be done in a fraction of the time. Bomparte’s Fonts endeavors continually to offer an eclectic array of high-quality fonts. These range from experimental to retro-inspired. Most are original designs, while a few are updated revivals. In addition to producing fonts for his own type foundry, John Bomparte also digitizes the type designs of Harry Warren (Breauhare).
