Bombay is a caps-only display font. Its letterforms are sans serif, and they look like they come from a monospaced font. However, Bombay’s monospaced-appearance is just a strong look ; in actuality, its letters have proportional widths. These appear quite industrial and constructed, too – almost as if they had been made by a machine, rather than by Deni Anggara, the Bandung/Indonesia-based type designer behind Bombay. Specifically, this typeface’s ‘M’ and ‘W’ share a nearly-identical form, rotated 180°. Letters that are traditionally rounded, like the ‘C’ or the ‘O’ are all straight-sided. In fact, Bombay does not include any curves in it all all. The ‘Q’, which doesn’t descend, employs a unique space-saving solution for its tail. The ‘J’ also has a tail – which doesn’t descend, either – and a roof-stroke, too: these give its counter a very distinct shape. The zero features a slash inside of its counterform, distinguishing it from the ‘O’. Bombay includes a full range of numerators and denominators for typesetting fractions. Bombay is an excellent choice for headline-typesetting and logo design, but will certainly be used for concert and event flyers, too. It would even be great for branding a sports team.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin.

He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. The Metamorphosis is a short story, sometimes regarded as a novella, by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world.
