Ohm specimen from Balto / Type Supply

A three-weight display family drawn to replicate the visual character of neon tube lettering.

About

Each letterform in Ohm mimics the continuous, bent-tube quality of neon signage, with joins and terminals shaped to suggest glass tubing rather than ink on paper. Three weights from Light to Bold allow for variation in apparent tube diameter. OpenType features include discretionary ligatures and fractions, and the family covers a broad range of Latin-based languages.

Classification

Drawn to mimic neon tube lettering, Ohm is a display face with a specific vernacular reference; it belongs to the display category as a novelty type with a singular visual concept rather than a general-purpose text or headline design.
