Author's note

Curved by Edward Lyness of FSI FontShop International GmbH is a free cartoon display font built from broad, softly rounded strokes. Its letters have a modular, almost toy-like construction, with blunt ends and compact inner spaces. The silhouette is cheerful and sturdy.

Packaging for sweets and children's games can turn its simple shapes into illustrated objects. The same rounded construction suits music merchandise and playful event posters, where lettering can resemble molded pieces or stickers. Across these uses, the shared link is a friendly object-like quality rather than neutral typography.
