About
Store Norske Ballong is a bold display font that practically floats off the page. Inspired by balloons and constructed from just five simple, strictly arranged circles, it still bursts with unexpected life, movement, and personality. Small connections between the letters create a lively rhythm in both headlines and text. Like a chameleon, Ballong shifts from looking like puffs of smoke to wobbly jelly or flowing water, always dynamic, always full of life. No wonder Ballong’s bubbly personality is popular for posters, album covers, and editorial projects.
