Wobbly is a free distorted display font with a jittery, hand-cut look. The letters lean and pinch in uneven ways, with rough rounded shapes set against sharp, blade-like strokes, so the whole font feels off-balance in a deliberate, playful way.
That makes it a natural pick for poster headlines, zine covers, indie music artwork, Halloween flyers, and title cards where a free font can bring a slightly nervous, handmade edge. It works best in short phrases, logos, and big pull quotes, because the wobble in every letter becomes the message as much as the words do.
Monotype Type Drawing Office - Robin Nicholas, Patricia Saunders 1982
Description
Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.
