It must be said that in common usage, any bizarre apparition can be referred to as a bakemono or an obake whether or not it is believed to have an alternative form, making the terms roughly synonymous with yōkai. A bakemono's true form may be an animal, such as a fox (Kitsune), a raccoon dog (Tanuki), a badger (Mujina) or a transforming cat (Bakeneko). It could be the spirit of a plant (such as a Kodama) or an inanimate object which may possess a soul in animistic traditions. Bakemono derived from household objects are often called "Tsukumogami". Bakemono can disguise themselves into plenty of shapes and appearances. They can be terrifying giants, but also cute household items. Sure, finding yourself in front of a Bakemono is but strange!

For instance, hitotsume-kozō appear as bald-headed children with only one eye, similar to cyclopes. They usually do no harm, like the karakasa obake, and are often depicted in a humorous way.
On the contrary, ōnyūdō (the "big monks") are surrounded by legends of both harm and kindness, while noppera-bō are faceless monsters who enjoy to frighten humans.

Today, Monospaced typefaces are useful mostly in coding, where their strict visual rhythm can easily help programmers to articulate correctly the formal language of programming scripts. Things like punctuation, quotes and special symbols all get maximum visibility thanks to the extra width, while indenting allows easier spotting of coding mistakes.

But far from their utilitarian reasons, monospace fonts also share a peculiar, quasi-brutal look that makes them used often for mere aesthetic reasons. Rather than being simply more readable, they convey to the reader both a simple base visual rythm and a complex change in letterforms, forcing some letters (notably the lowercase m and w) to shrink while making thin letters like i and l gain serifs.

Francesco Canovaro created Bakemono as a way to explore the design space around the duality of fixed/proportional width. He was also interested in the concept of monowidth design, inherent in monospaced typefaces, that can bring flexibility and ease of use also to proportional type - allowing you to change the weight of a word without losing the text alignment. In his research on fixed width type design he mixed the lessons of mechanical typewriter technology with the intuitions of eastern brush calligraphy, which has been dealing with for centuries with fixed space grids.  The name of the typeface comes from the Japanese shape-shifter yokais that could change their form freely between human and animal, and aptly describes the metamorphic nature of this wide superfamily coming in proportional, monospace and intermediate subfamilies. With a design mixing the expansion principles of the brush with the sharp technicality of typewriter and system fonts, Bakemono can both excel at text size in its regular widths optimized for legibility  Show all

The catalog opens with the “OFFF*uck Manifesto“, written by Awesome studio: a short text inviting everybody to “calm the fuck down, embrace the chaos & enjoy the ride”. The manifesto features the work of amazing artists and studios, such as Studio&more, Noelia Lozano, Domestic Data Streamers or Studio Furious, to name just some of them. It then features a section to show some of our own typographical experiments with artificial intelligence, using Midjourney AI and Dall-E as springboard to generate new typeface ideas.

A Beautiful Mistake - AI Poem

A spread from “A Beautiful Mistake” featuring AI poetry
typeset in a typeface generated with the help of neural networks.


Finally, the book showcases the work of the amazing speakers and guests of OFFF TLV 2022 in a portfolio section of over 100 pages. Our typeface Milligram is used as main display typeface, while the text is typeset in a Blacker Mono, a font family created for the occasion by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini and Francesco Canovaro under the input of Isabella Ahmadzadeh who was editorial designer on the project.

Bakemono and Obake

Bakemono Stereo Thin
CLICK ON TEXT TO EDIT

As class of y?kai, preternatural creatures in Japanese folklore. Literally, the terms mean a thing that changes.

Bakemono Text Regular
CLICK ON TEXT TO EDIT

Obake and Bakemono are often translated as "ghost", but primarily they refer to living things or supernatural beings who have taken on a temporary transformation, and these bakemono are distinct from the spirits of the dead. However, as a secondary usage, the term obake can be a synonym for yuurei, the ghost of a deceased human being. A bakemono's true form may be an animal such as a fox (kitsune), a raccoon dog (bake-danuki), a badger (mujina), a transforming cat (bakeneko), the spirit of a plant—such as a kodama, or an inanimate object which may possess a soul in Shinto and other animistic traditions. Obake derived from household objects are often called tsukumogami. A bakemono usually either disguises itself as a human or appears in a strange or terrifying form such as a hitotsume-koz?, an ?ny?d?, or a noppera-b?. In common usage, any bizarre apparition can be referred to as a bakemono or an obake whether or not it is believed to have some other form, making the terms roughly synonymous with y?kai.
