Calypso

Roger Excoffon’s groundbreaking 3D halftone design, produced with the help of José Mendoza y Almeida and released by Fonderie Olive in 1958.

Several digital revivals exist, including attempts from Ralph M. Unger (profonts, 2005, shown here), Marty Bee, Joep Pohlen, and Belafonte, an homage by Loïc Sander.
