2003. Commissioned by Danilo Black, Inc.. Unreleased.



I threw this together in an afternoon to use in proposals for the 2003-04 Barnum & Bailey Circus Official Program. They didn't go for it. The serifs bounce on the outside, but line up between characters on the inside, so there is some order to the chaos. I'll probably never finish this face. František Štorm's Farao does most of what Bailey does, but better - especially because it looks bouncy without actually being bouncy.

Incidentally, this font isn't named after the circus; it's named after a dog.
