Fugu Script Typeface

When Baka and Baka Too did very well commercially (Baka was named the Best Cursive Rough Script in 2005), I shied away from doing rough, handwritten scripts in fear as being seen as a one-trick-pony. A few years have passed and some early sumi-e brush ‘doodles’ kept appealing to me. I initially thought this new font would just fall under the Baka mantle and just become a new sibling, but as brush hit paper over and over again, the letters took on a different personality from Baka.

This new font was turning out to be far more expressive, smooth and rough, tasty but sticky. This dichotomy demanded a new name. The rough and smooth texture suggested the name Fugu—oddly delicate while rough and functional.

As part of Neil Summerour &Positype's Relaxed Script Font Series, this typeface features a number of OpenType features that includes a number of Stylistic, Swash, and even Titling alternates. These typefaces are expertly craft and perfect for any use where you are wanting a personal or casual touch, including: invitations, weddings, social media, packaging, branding, stationery, and print advertising.

These fonts will work and look great in many software applications—they were designed to be easy—so no special software is needed.
