This is the long thin kind, not the round kind. Blue Balloon Font bends a modelling balloon back on itself for every letter, keeping one tube width, pinching tight at each fold and bulging either side of every twist. A hard white highlight runs the whole length. It suits parties, fairgrounds, soft-play centres and toy packaging.
Blue Balloon Font Twists Like a Clown Would
This is the long thin kind, not the round kind. A modelling balloon bent back on itself makes each letter of the Blue Balloon Font, so the tube keeps one width and pinches tight at each fold. Because latex squeaks under pressure, the joints bulge slightly either side of every twist. The blue runs bright cyan on the lit side and deepens where the tube turns away. Meanwhile a hard white highlight tracks along the top of the whole length. Naturally the ends finish in a little rounded tip.
Latex Shine and Pinched Joints
Gloss is doing the heavy lifting. The surface reflects like wet plastic, since inflated latex stretches smooth. Underneath the highlight, then, the colour saturates into a rich cobalt. Besides that, the pinch points show a pale stress ring where the rubber thinned. Likewise a faint seam runs the length of some tubes. Above all, the alphabet reads as air held in by very little.
