Gob (a portmanteau of ‘gastric’ and ‘blob’) is a playful display font family with knobbly silhouettes, not unlike a digestive tract. What began as an inverse typographic experiment evolved into multiple styles (Verti, Hori, and Uni) through stretching, squeezing, and reworking its stroke segments. Later, a FontStruct colour font competition pushed Gob further, spawning the pixelated, shadow-layered Pixi variation.

Telecarb (the backwards spelling of ‘bracelet’) is display decorative typeface paying homage to the friendship bracelet-making culture. The activity skyrocketed in popularity when Taylor Swift concert-goers started making these bracelets to wear them to the Eras Tour (2023-2024). It is associated with one of Swift’s song, You’re on Your Own, Kid, which includes the line: “So make the friendship bracelets.”

While there are existing fonts in the market that mimic friendship bracelets, there is a lack of thoroughness in developing a typeface that fully integrates every element of the bracelet, including the thread, weave/knots, and decorative beads. This type family aims to address that, making each part of the bracelet element to be modifiable in colour and arrangement.

Alt Sans is an unfinished type project that explores the various display features many typographers have included in typical sans serif typefaces. Examples include ink traps, adding shapes, shadows, and subtraction. The resulting typefaces (’Burst,’ ‘Inktrap,’ ‘Shadow’ and ‘Watermark’) are modified from the bold weight of Poppins by Indian Type Foundry and Jonny Pinhorn. All fonts are under the OFL license.
