About the family


Bazaruto is an expansive display family inspired by a vintage specimen in Letters and Lettering by Carlyle & Oring, then developed far beyond its original source into a Deco-rooted display superfamily typographic experiment, exploring engraved, monoline, ironwork-inspired, ornamental, and hand-drawn directions while preserving a shared visual ancestry. Ideal for branding, posters, packaging, editorial titles, labels, hospitality graphics, signage, and vintage-inspired display work, Bazaruto offers exceptional stylistic range within a unified voice. From refined Deco elegance to decorative ironwork flair and looser hand-drawn character, the family gives designers a flexible toolkit for building layered identities, expressive headlines, and richly detailed typographic systems.
