Long years ago, before the evil days had dawned,
King Volsung ruled over all the land which lies between the sea and the country of the Goths
THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN
and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.
Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.
In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information
Built from a simple geometric formal repertoire, Bonto is an expressive display typeface that comes in four styles. Directly inspired by our childhood games, the idea of this typeface was to create the most expressive typeface with the most simple shapes. Like lego or puzzle games, the letters come together in a contrasting combination of right angles and roundness. Bonto is designed to encourage play and experimentation through typographic composition. Several alternative glyphs can help the designer find the right combination. The alternative glyphs "e", "s" and "z" behave like descenders passing under the baseline, allowing for variations in the reading rhythm. In its black style, Bonto can be similar to a domino game, while the regular brings out the contrast of the round counter-forms. Bonto is best used large and playful, perfect for creating impactful and user-friendly designs
