Bloem

Carlos Oliveras Colom

Bloem, is a revival text typeface that proudly showcases flourished serifs paired with subtle contrast bodies displayed along its round & wide features. These flamboyant serifs have bold ends which gives them a contemporary edge.

This revival typeface stems from Hollandsche Mediaeval, a typeface designed by Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos, a Dutch Designer in 1912. The name “bloem” roots from the Dutch language that means “flower”. This typeface displays its serifs in a freeing and expressive way, which made me think of flowers when they bloom and stretch their leaves and happily showcase who they are.

Carlos Oliveras Colom is a Puerto Rican Senior Visual Designer, Lettering Artist & Illustrator. Designer by day, Artist by Night with a passion for bold fun letters. Letters are the subject that he uses to express himself and thoughts while pushing the boundaries of what is considered to be a letter and be surprised by the outcome.
