Bulb
Off Type · Mat Desjardins
A 27-style display family by Mat Desjardins built around the visual metaphor of light bulb glow, with a Watt-based weight axis running from dim to brilliantly blurred.
About
Three sub-families — Classic, Reverse and Monoline — each span nine weights from 100 to 900 Watt, where heavier settings introduce a deliberately bloated, light-leak quality. Bulb Classic carries conventional stroke contrast, Bulb Reverse flips it, and Bulb Monoline strips it away entirely for a cleaner, uniform stroke. Variable cuts accompany each sub-family, and each style includes a set of icons and glyphs tied to the lighting theme.
Classification
Bulb is a purely expressive display type family drawing on the visual language of light bulb glows and old punch printers; its three sub-families, including a reverse-contrast cut, place it firmly in decorative display territory rather than any functional classification.
