Designed by Fabrizio Falcone with Alex Bossi, Burghi is a variable display font. The inspiration came from the graphic styles of early fast food restaurants and, in particular, from the logo (perhaps influenced by Joseph Churchward’s Marianna typeface) of Burghy, the first American-style fast food chain in Italy, which also inspired the font’s name.
Burghi’s lumpy style brings back the taste of those hedonistic times of the 1980s. Fat and rounded, its letterforms evoke a tangible sensation of smoothness and satisfaction, making it a good choice for any kind of fun or joyful communication.
As a variable font, Burghi’s counters have two alternative designs: one has straight and tiny counters (almost microscopic) for the bigger sizes starting from 40 points, while the other has slightly wider counters for smaller sizes (minimum 20 points).
In addition, Burghi’s character set is enriched by three emojis from the fast-food world: hamburger, chips and drink.
