Buttered Crumpet, a custom typeface for Wallace and Gromit

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.

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.

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... )

Really feel like this ought to have been named Wensleydale.

(this is awesome)

When I look at the text on the whole it seems that individual characters are not aligned properly, or maybe not vertical enough, or something like this. But when I look at individual characters to confirm it, I don't see any misalignment. How does it work?

I watched S1,Ep2 yesterday. When Wallace took down a picture of a pink pig to open the wall safe and then took out a pink piggy bank, I almost lost it. Classic!

It's quite round and looks pretty good.

Is there a nerdfont variant?

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

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?

Fonts are such an underappreciated art form. Love this

Shouldn't there be some holes?

Very cute and charming!
