Designers Note
Gumbo is a bold, hand-drawn display font with a playful and rustic charm. Its uneven strokes and textured appearance give it a casual, artistic feel, perfect for designs seeking a laid-back, vintage vibe. Ideal for posters, logos, packaging, and creative projects, Gumbo adds character and personality with its unique, hand-crafted style that stands out in both digital and print media.
Lately I have been experimenting with different foods. At home, we eat a lot of Asian food, but I thought it would be nice to broaden my culinary horizon a bit. So far I have (successfully) added Georgian beef and walnut soup, Tacos (after a suggestion by my friend Stuart), Surinam Roti and various vegetarian dishes to our menu.
When I created this font, I had to think of Gumbo - a dish I have never made.
Gumbo is a handmade display font that comes in a rotund regular and an obese bold (with Italics). Use it for your book covers, product packaging and sticky notes.
Gumbo comes with cute ‘end of word’ ligatures - just type the glyph + space and presto: you have a little swash.
As for the dish Gumbo, well, I will make that this weekend!
