Jimbo

Jimbo is an enthusiastic and friendly serif display typeface. Based on an early logotype for Parkinson´s studio, Jimbo embodies the charisma of mid-20th-century advertising and sign painters´ lettering. "It´s like a happy Bodoni", says Parkinson.

Designed primarily for use at large display sizes, Jimbo is also clear and readable in short text settings as small as 12 points. Ideal for signs, advertising, and packaging.
