[wpw] Download Tokyo Olive font by Dharma Type

Tokyo Olive was designed as an homage to nostalgic display types and advertisements in the mid-late 80s.

The mid-late 80s was the era of the post-modernism and fancy-decorative design especially in Japan

In other words, it was the mixture of superficial form-operation and girly taste.

This curious design movement vanished without a trace in the 90s, but it had its moments.

Tokyo Olive has voluminous and simple geometric skeleton (for post-modern) with rounded and craft-style stencil joints (for fancy decoration).

We added a classic open style as a little spice. The mixture of those essences makes new impression we have never seen before.

Tokyo Olive family consists of 5 styles for stacking color font.

Please use Photoshop or Illustrator, or your favorite graphic design apps that can handle layers.

Layers are the printing plates of wood type. You should be able to change text color for each layer.

Tokyo Olive "Standard" style is the base of this font family.

You can add open effect by stacking "Fill" layers over the Standard layer.
