Introducing the Boom symbol.
Visually, the symbol was inspired by the familiar shape of the explosion emoji. It needed to be adapted to work within a typographic system. We refined its proportions and simplified the structure so it would integrate smoothly with SFT Ritam Sans. The goal was to make it feel like a native part of the typeface, not a graphic pasted on top.
Layer breakdown of the Boom symbol.
Constructed from three stacked color shapes, this typographic glyph is built using layered composition within the font file.
Structure of the editable-color Boom symbol.
Built from one base layer (which inherits the text color) and two semi-transparent white overlays to preserve shape and contrast.
