Baudot

Originally published in 1972 as dry transfer type, this unique design was inspired by the bright lights of Las Vegas and graced posters, magazine, and album covers in the '70s and '80s.

This remix, dubbed Baudot [boːdo], has three weights plus two styles for color layering. Baudot also employs a second, offset grid in places to reduce gaps and to better realize the design intent.

As one would expect of today's fonts, Baudot has handy OpenType features and a broad glyph repertoire supporting 224 languages, including Vietnamese, Greek, plus Cyrillic script. Baudot will add dazzle and delight to any headline or drop cap treatment, especially when the color layering option is used.
