Kingthings Slipperylip Font
Author's note
Kingthings Slipperylip, attributed to Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent of Monotype Typography, is a free psychedelic display font with swollen curves and looping flourishes. Teardrop shapes, spirals, and sudden shifts between broad and fine strokes give the letters a liquid, 1970s-inspired look. The forms are ornate and lively.
Music audiences will find it suited to posters, album artwork, and festival merchandise. Its bubbles and curling lines can mingle with surreal illustration, turning a logo into part of the artwork.

Monotype Type Drawing Office - Stanley Morison, Victor Lardent 1932
Description
This remarkable typeface first appeared in 1932 in The Times of London newspaper, for which it was designed. It has subsequently become one of the worlds most successful type creations. The original drawings were made under Stanley Morison's direction by Victor Lardent at The Times. It then went through an extensive iterative process involving further work in Monotype's Type Drawing Office. Based on experiments Morison had conducted using Perpetua and Plantin, it has many old style characteristics but was adapted to give excellent legibility coupled with good economy. Widely used in books and magazines, for reports, office documents and also for display and advertising.
