About Dragonfly BF Font Family


Inspiration for Dragonfly BF came from such early 20th century typefaces as Windsor and Greeting Monotone. It’s a bit eccentric, but in a funky-cool way. It’s named after one of my favorite insects, a fascinating creature which is the only one (that I’m aware of), besides the hummingbird, that’s capable of flight in all directions: up, down, left, right, forwards and backwards. What an air show! Dragonfly Closed BF is of course the same font style, however, it’s without the stencil breaks present in the primary design. Stylistic Alternates for capitals I, and N, as well as lowercase f, i, j and y, are included in both fonts. Dragonfly fits in well in a variety of settings such as logotypes, signage, music and games packaging, or even techno sci-fi. Though it is meant primarily for display, it can certainly be employed in short paragraphs of large text.

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).
