Fabulosa

Fabulosa brings a unique blend of historical and creative influences, combining the bold ‘fat face’ typography style with the lively flair of Ed Benguiat’s Caslon Black Swash from the 1960s. The ‘fat face’ style, with its thick strokes, was pioneered by Robert Thorne in the early 19th century. Thorne’s design was a stronger version of modern type styles, known for its strong contrast and heavy serifs. Caslon Black Swash, on the other hand, captures the vibrant typographic creativity of the mid-20th century. Its swashes and decorative flourishes bring a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of ornate letterforms from earlier times, while fitting perfectly into the energetic graphic culture of the 70s.
