Author's note

Petunia Bounce by Mario Arturo is a free whimsical serif font with tall, loosely drawn letters and fine, shifting strokes. Its uneven proportions and gently wandering curves give the type a light, storybook character.

Loose botanical drawings echo the lettering's slender lines, making it useful for garden event posters and floral packaging. It also suits children's book covers and boutique stationery. The playful serif shapes connect these applications with themes of nature, imagination, and handmade craft.
