From the foundry
LL Cobra is a display typeface born from a playful adaptation of vernacular type, originally derived from the 1980s/90s British sportswear brand 'Cobra' logo, itself echoing Ad Werner's Dubbeldik lettering. The variable version, LL Cobra VIP, reworks the original geometric two-line letterforms into a full glyph set with a modulating width axis that narrows the two parallel mono-linear strokes, enabling a wide range of black-and-white ratios suited to Op-Art and pattern-based graphic applications.
