Really feel like this ought to have been named Wensleydale.

(this is awesome)

Night_Thastus•1h ago
EDIT: I'm wrong
Jarmsy•55m ago
Wensleydale is a place in Yorkshire, and a style of cheese, not specific to any one brand, so you could.
4ndrewl•47m ago
I'm not sure it's a brand name so much as a type of cheese.

Was the crumpet buttered with "I can't believe it's not butter"?

( The typeface looks a lot like https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/i-cant-believe-i... )

shoelessone•1h ago
There are a lot of similarities. You must either have a great memory for fonts, or eat a lot of butter alternative spread, either way good eye!
undecisive•1h ago
It's interesting; I'd imagine very similar design briefs (friendliness, breadliness, etc)

The ICBINB font is almost a semi-serif, almost like a sans serif that's slightly melted, whereas I'd say the crumpet is fully serif. The "e", "L" and "v" are pretty different. And I'd say the ICBINB font lends itself better to tighter spaces, whereas the crumpet font seems to beg for more space.

But certainly, I could see one being used to replace another in a pinch - but I'm not a font specialist (graphologist? Is there a word for a person who studies fonts?)

quotemstr•57m ago
Yeah. It's convergent evolution towards bouba-ness. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect)
danesparza•49m ago
Ah, a British convergence! That phrase always makes me think of this now (from the Vicar of Dibley): https://youtu.be/37ficiqoE6U

Nice find! That looks like Cooper Black, which the article cites as inspiration.
hamburglar•1h ago
Is it intentional that the baseline vertical offset doesn’t seem consistent? Text set in this has a sort of up-and-down sloppy effect. Otherwise I love it.

Edit: it mostly seems that capitals appear higher than lowercase. It feels like there’s more inconsistency though, like the designer didn’t pay attention to eg the perceived “bottom” of curved characters vs flat-bottom ones.

stronglikedan•50m ago
I was just coming here to say, it looks like each letter is about to fall over backwards.
inanutshellus•11m ago
IMO for a cartoon like W&G a little wonkiness and skew is entirely on-point.

Fonts are such an underappreciated art form. Love this
quotemstr•58m ago
Too few people appreciate typefaces. Are they under-overall though? Those who do appreciate get really, really, really into them. I'm sure it nets out. :-)
Apocryphon•15m ago
I feel like hipster typography is as much an intrinsic part of 2010s design culture as cafes that look like farmhouses, or startups named after common nouns. Saturday Night Live made a sketch about Papyrus nearly ten years ago:

shrikant•58m ago
That's beautiful, I'd love a monospaced variant of this to replace Comic Mono in my IDE/Fira Mono in my terminal. IANA font expert though, would that even be possible?
rda2•48m ago
It’s cute, and I’m trusting enough to believe them when it says 100% home made, but square images with a strong yellow tint will forever be associated with ChatGPT 4o image generation in my mind. Unfortunately, this might become something like the em-dash—where artists start tweaking their work to look less like the AI’s that are copying them.
presbyterian•20m ago
The cheese pattern and the green teacup pattern after it are obviously AI generated. The weird curve of the wedges, the fuzzy edges to the cheese holes, the artifacting around the edges of the teacups, the fact that neither is a perfectly repeating pattern. It's 100% AI, even if the font may not be.
parpfish•15m ago
In 15 years, the youths will become obsessed with that strange yellow cartoon style. They will crave that “vintage ChatGPT aesthetic”.
zabzonk•44m ago
Shouldn't there be some holes?

There's a miniscule dent on the top of the capital B that's really bothering me. Idk, I know everyone's a critic, but it just doesnt sit right with me
