Author's note

BOB The Lion Singer, credited to Chanaka Lee, is a free portrait dingbat font shaped by reggae musician imagery. Stark silhouettes, dreadlocked profiles, and poster-like facial studies create the feel of hand-cut stencil art.

The pictorial characters suit concert posters and album artwork that need an immediate roots-reggae reference. They can also give fan merchandise and music event flyers a rough, commemorative tone, especially when paired with plain lettering that leaves the portraits visually distinct.
