Cheee specimen from OH no Type

A variable display typeface with axes for Yeast and Gravity, producing dripping, blobby letterforms across 25 named styles with roots in 1970s psychedelia.

About

Cheee uses two variable axes, Yeast and Gravity, to morph letterforms from tightly controlled to wildly dripping globs, with a companion Small style for subheads. The 25 named styles, each named after real people bar Bingbong, span the full range of the axes and can be purchased individually or as a complete family including a single variable font file. Production work was contributed by Alexis Boscariol, and the design openly acknowledges its debt to 1970s vernacular lettering.

Classification
