Bidiblob
A dense dotted display family for swollen headlines, labels, and graphic systems.
Design intent
Bidiblob turns dotted mass into a heavy display texture: swollen, graphic, and deliberately tactile.
It is made for short headlines, package labels, event graphics, and identity systems where the letterforms can behave like material instead of quiet text.
Formats and intended use
The public trial package includes limited-glyph desktop and web fonts for evaluation. The unrestricted commercial package stays out of public hosting.
Test Bidiblob at display sizes, with short phrases and generous line spacing. Use the full licensed package for production and client work.
Version 1.000 release notes
Version 1.000 publishes the first public trial ZIP, site runtime trial fonts, and OpenType documentation for ligatures, kerning, contextual alternates, and capitals spacing.
The full commercial package remains marked for secure delivery while checkout and package QA are completed.

FAQ
The public download is a limited trial package for layout tests, mockups, and internal review. It is not the full commercial font package.
Full commercial packages are delivered separately after licensing. Until Lemon Squeezy checkout is connected, use the contact link for purchase and license requests.
Version 1.000 is the current release. Bug fixes and minor compatibility updates are handled under the sales and updates policy.
Use the WOFF2 files for web tests and the OTF or TTF files in desktop apps. Keep font synthesis disabled so the family renders as designed.
