Wars

These Star Wars Logo fonts are based upon the official Star Wars logo typeface. Star Jedi is a titling (capitals only) font, with a lot of variations and connections.

Star Jedi is a bold font that reproduces exactly the Star Wars logo’s typeface. The small letters are all capitals, while the capitals are serif variants…

Star Jedi Hollow is the contour version of Star Jedi, but, in order to mantain the capability to create letter groups and connections, it must be quite different. Due to the nature of a closed contour glyph, you can’t simply apply closed link-lines or plugs on it without injuring the continuity of the contour. Contours to be linked definitely must be open. The small letters are the hollow version of the small letters in Star Jedi (all caps, sans serif) with a closed contour; the capitals have an open contour, that’s totally linkable; Fontspace, by Boba Fonts (1998)

What People Say?

‘It’s one of the most interesting and heated food debates amongst the diaspora. I’d even say it’s the most epic food beefs of all time.  I’m talking Drake vs Meek Mill- Epic. Twitter rants have ensued, diss tracks have been dropped, all in the quest to answer one question – which African nation makes the best jollof?; Black Foodie‘
