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.

IMO for a cartoon like W&G a little wonkiness and skew is entirely on-point.

I was just coming here to say, it looks like each letter is about to fall over backwards.
