Author's note

BlisteredReverse by Character is a free cartoon display font built from plump, rounded capitals and layered cutout forms. Its uneven inner outlines give the lettering a hand-cut, slightly inflated look.

Children's packaging is a natural fit because the soft block shapes can read like stickers or molded candy pieces. The same playful construction also suits arcade game graphics, comic posters, and novelty merchandise, where the letters can become part of the surrounding illustrated artwork rather than serving as ordinary type.
