  • This font is extracted from the displays at buzz! convenience stores (owned by Singapore Press Holdings) littered across Singapore, pixel-by-pixel. While I could not save the other variant, this one has been preserved, right here at FontStruct.

    Why was this font named Jorona?
    There was a few incidents at the buzz! convenience store at Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange and Hillion Mall, that displayed the news articles from The Straits Times, The Business Times, and Lianhe Zaobao (a Chinese newspaper tabloid, for those of you who don't know). One headline listed the word 'joronavirus' (it was meant to be 'coronavirus' but one of the letters got overwritten by a lowercase 'j'). Hence Jorona was the name of this font.

    Are there any more updates to this font?
    Unfortunately, there will be no more updates to this font. 
    All buzz! convenience stores had their exterior displays turned off since 2021.
