Author's note

SM Crystalism by Dan Meyer is a free cartoon display font with oversized, uneven lettering. Broad strokes swell and taper unpredictably, and the rounded forms lean at shifting angles. The result feels lively and deliberately unruly.

A children's event poster is its clearest setting, with the chunky shapes matching playful illustration and comic-style graphics. It also suits game packaging and music merchandise, especially when the lettering itself is meant to supply the rough, hand-drawn humor.
