When Chartwell first launched in 2011, Travis wrote a process post on Tumblr. Yes, it’s that old! In celebration of Pie Day Week, we’ve reposted it on our blog. Also, Chartwell Complete is 20% off for the week. A very rare sale at Vectro! vectrotype.com/blog/chartwel…

There's a bug in the Google Fonts version of Kablammo, which results in missing kerning in Illustrator and InDesign. Until we track down the issue, you can use the version from our GitHub repo. github.com/Vectro-Type-Found…

I guess one cool thing about releasing an OpenSource font is that people can turn the emoji into a color font. Kablammo!
I'm totally in love with text-wrap: balance; #CSS

Kablammo! We’ve harnessed the power of a logo designer in a font, so now you can use your fiverr credits on the website. Just add text and color, and presto, cool company! Get Kablammo! vectrotype.com/kablammo

If you’re looking for a boring, normal font, choose Kablammo. In fact it’s so bland that we even had to create a brand new variable axis, called the Morph Axis. Use Kablammo’s Morph Axis to tediously bounce between alternate shapes of utter monotony. vectrotype.com/kablammo

The ‘90s are back — and so are its typefaces (sort of). Design Director Sean Slavin talks through “Kablammo,” @VectroType’s modern take on “Jokerman,” and why the dynamic, maximalist font is about to be very popular: bit.ly/3r7icOz

What sets Kablammo apart from Helvetica? Well, unlike most grotesks, we did not use the golden ratio. Instead we used a healthy dose of dashes, gashes, dots, spots, and a few galaxy swirls. Bored of Arial? Use Kablammo. Optimized for wayfinding! vectrotype.com/kablammo

Kablammo was by far one of our most intense creative processes, as we followed countless dead ends. It may appear as chaos in a font, but there was a lot of energy put into making these letters dance together. Read about the making of kablammo on our blog: vectrotype.com/blog/kablammo…
