P22 Type Foundry proudly announces the release of P22 Flora Mambo, a set of fonts based on the distinctive style of 20th century illustrator Jim Flora.Most widely known for his Jazz album covers of the 1940s & 50s, Floras style shows his fantastic imagination and bold graphic style. The P22 Flora Mambo font set contains a two-part font that allows you to achieve two-color text in the style of Flora’s iconic 1955 album design “Mambo for Cats” as well as a set of 72 “Flornaments.” Most computer fonts are limited to a single color.
