Tubular is a modern revival inspired by Blippo, a bold, rounded display typeface designed by Joe Taylor in 1969. Known for its thick geometric forms and strong influence on the Bauhaus 93 font, Blippo is ideal for eye-catching headlines and retro, 1970s-inspired visuals.
Tubular takes the ideas from Blippo and updates them for today, focusing on clear and organized shapes like circles, rectangles, and gentle triangles. Its design leans into simplicity while maintaining a strong visual presence, making it both functional and expressive.
Tubular balances playfulness with precision, offering a cleaner, more controlled interpretation of Blippo’s bold personality. The result is a typeface that feels nostalgic yet modern, capable of standing out in branding, digital design, and editorial layouts.
Fonts Inspiration - Blippo (1963) & Bauhaus 93 (1993)
Bauhaus 93 is a digital variant and adaptation of the heavy sans-serif Blippo Black typeface (designed by Joe Taylor in 1969), which was heavily inspired by those early modernist geometric experiments.
