VLNL Beatbox Font Family was designed by Donald Beekman, and and published by VetteLetters. VLNL Beatbox contains 3 styles and family package options.
VLNL Beatbox is a solid tech heavy straight stencil-face with a lot of character.
It was originally designed as a logo for dj Markus Schultz back in 2004, who rejected it. His management couldn’t read it, or thought people wouldn’t be able to read it. But Chef Donald DBXL found the concept interesting enough to finish it and has used it in many projects since. It was the identity font for the Battle of Amsterdam, a talent showcase in beat boxing and other skills. Beatboxing is a style of hiphop music (beats) made with the mouth and a microphone. A box is a handy container to store stuff. Like food, or fonts. We use a lot of boxes at the VetteLetters office.
VLNL Beatbox is best deployed big, like in logos or headlines. Or flyers, album covers, posters and signage. As a display and headline typeface it’s got a lot of character. We could definitely see it painted on the side of a tank, or an airplane. It’s heavy, but not at all dangerous. Use it without risk.
VLNL Beatbox comes in two variations; Regular and Small (smallcaps)
