Balburdia Type
Balburdia is a vernacular, experimental, and variable typeface developed through the exploration of irregularities found in letters with this vernacular aspect. The font is exclusively uppercase, with two stylistic sets for each letter and a variability called Algazarra, which adjusts the visual instability of the letters, making them more or less tremulous.
