Author's note

Paul Pulpo by Andrea Bartsch is a free decorative display font built around a lively octopus motif. Heavy, blunt letterforms rise above clusters of curling tentacles, with suction-cup textures and ink-like speckling worked into the lower edges. The silhouettes are theatrical, broad, and unmistakably marine even before the ornament is examined.

Underwater adventures and comic sea monsters make an obvious setting for children's book covers, aquarium event posters, and game graphics. It could also turn seafood packaging or coastal festival merchandise into an illustrated scene, since the repeated tentacles let each word become part creature and part lettering or title.
