Designed by Matthijs Herzberg, Bonkus is a display sans and sans serif font family. This typeface has thirteen styles and was published by Herzberg Design.
Bonkus is a geometric sans-serif typeface with a funky touch. Inspired by similar typefaces from the 1970’s such as Blippo and Ronda, Bonkus retains their pleasant personality while being more balanced and versatile. Equipped with 6 strongly contrasting weights, each with an optically adjusted italic counterpart, Bonkus can perform well in a wide variety of settings.
The thin and black weights are particularly well suited to display, and respond well to tight tracking. The in-between weights are also great for display, but can handle their own in text.
Bonkus provides all necessary punctuation marks and symbols (including a tasteful manicule), as well as a vast array of OpenType features. 52 Discretionary ligatures provide room to get weird, while an alternative rounded A, M, N, W, Y, and w, can drastically alter Bonkus’ aesthetic.
Tabular and proportional figures, subscript and superscript, fractions, an optional slashed zero, and lining punctuation provide everything you need for beautiful typesetting.
Bonkus provides Latin A-Extended and Basic Cyrillic language support.
Besides 12 static styles, Bonkus comes as a variable font, allowing you to use it at any weight and slant you desire.
