Rodondo Font: Sharp Points, Curves and Custom Spacing

Olly Wood’s Rodondo project describes an Art Deco-influenced design balancing sharp points and curves, drawn in Illustrator and built in FontForge. The April 2013 project post invites experimentation with its lettering and spacing. That is a direct design account; the posting date alone should not be turned into a claim about when every later file was created. Use the project as the original reference rather than borrowing an unrelated game-logo attribution.

Set two short original words containing rounded and pointed forms, such as ROUND and POINT. Compare the visible gaps between letters rather than forcing a mechanically equal distance between all outlines. Keep the width of the whole word visible while refining a troublesome pair, because fixing one gap can create an uneven rhythm elsewhere. Next compare an emblem-sized version and a larger heading. Poiret One is an independent Deco-oriented comparison, not Rodondo itself.

Try NORTHBOUND as a single line and as a carefully chosen two-line heading. Avoid stretching individual letters to make either version fit; compare line breaks and overall scale first. Keep a route number, date or location in a separate readable line, then inspect the whole arrangement at its intended output size. Michroma provides an independent wide geometric comparison. The homepage decorative text-style generator uses Unicode substitutions, which do not carry Rodondo’s drawn contours or custom spacing into a plain-text message.
