+ In the crowded urban environment, space for signage is always at a premium.
+ From crummy liquor stores to majestic theaters, sometimes signs have nowhere to
+ go but up.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Bungee is a font that celebrates urban signs that stack the Latin alphabet, one
+ letter on top of the other, in order to make dramatic use of limited space.
+ Following their lead, Bungee typesets horizontally <em>and</em> vertically, so
+ it is always ready to take your text in a new direction.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Bungee’s letterforms were designed to reinforce a sense of verticality. Round
+ characters like <strong>O</strong> and diagonal characters like
+ <strong>A</strong> are straight-sided, and letters like <strong>L</strong> and
+ <strong>I</strong> gain serifs in order to create vertical words with
+ well-defined left and right edges.
