Balboa was developed by Jim Parkinson and published by Parkinson.
Balboa consists of 9 designs and family plan choices. p >
Balboa is a display style combining elements of early sans serif and monstrous types with modern types. It evolved from ATF Heading Gothic, Banner (a heading typeface I drew for the San Francisco Chronicle), and Newsweek No. 9, a Stephenson Blake-like monstrous I created for Roger Black's 1980 redesign of Newsweek Magazine.
There are 9 designs, including the three new designs that have actually been included in 2014: Medium, Light and Ultra Light.
Font Family:
· Balboa Ultra Light
· Balboa Light
