Vigo

Vigo typeface specimen.

I released Vigo on May 4, 2005. The design was derived from my earlier typeface Bullpen, but I softened the corners and added more curvature to give it an Italian character. The idea was to keep the athletic block-letter look of Bullpen but temper it with a smoother, more ornamental feel.

Vigo was always a commercial release and was never distributed for free. I designed it strictly for display use, and it hasn’t appeared in notable projects.

On June 18, 2021, I updated the typeface with technical corrections. That update trimmed the ellipsis to standard width, added stylistic alternates, modernized the fractions feature, and cleaned up the character set. No visual changes were made beyond those technical adjustments.
