Its round forms and outlines evoke the flashing, pulsating lights and music of that era. Shipping with five different, width-compatible fonts, the Boogie typeface has four different components: an outlined letterform is the base element, and forms the first font.

Please read the honest comment of Johannes Plass, who designed Linotype Animalia™:
“What does a type designer do when he’s allergic to cats, was once bitten by a dog, and had a goldfish that went to a watery grave? Either he gets on with it, uses ordinary types, and animals give him a wide berth. Or else he confronts his fate by generating an animal font or using Linotype Animalia. Woof, yap, snarl …”
