Very heavy groovy capitals with pinched contours and full round bowls
Big Bubble
Big Bubble is a very heavy groovy capital alphabet in which each stroke swells and pinches, so the letters read as inflated shapes rather than drawn outlines.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Big Bubble.
The B closes two deep round bowls against a pinched stem, the I is a fat lozenge, the G curls a heavy tongue into its own counter and the E holds three thick arms that taper where they meet the stem. Every junction pinches a little and then swells again, which is what gives the face its seventies softness, and the counters are small and round so the word holds as a solid shape. Weight is maximal and uniform in feel, the terminals are fully round and the letterfit is tight, so a two-line stack locks together. There is no contrast and no straight line anywhere. The pink ground, the black lettering, the daisies in the corners and the two small captions are presentation; the typeface is the two words.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Big Bubble’s stroke geometry.
Poster for a seasonal market
The inflated shapes read across a street and carry a retro tone without illustration, which is what a seasonal market poster needs at A2.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the header at 120 pt on an A2 poster, set the dates in a plain 22 pt sans, and hold 35 mm below the letters so the swelled counters do not crowd the details.
Pre-production check
Screen printing a very heavy face closes its round counters; check a pull at final size and open the counters before the screens are burned.
Banner for a themed party
The groovy weight fills a banner with a few letters, and the soft shapes stay readable across a room where a lighter display face would thin out.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the greeting at 90 mm on a 1.2 m paper banner, keep the name at 55 mm beneath it, and leave 30 mm at each end so the round edges stay inside the edge.
Pre-production check
Paper banners curl under weight; print on a heavier stock and check the hanging before the party rather than on the day.
Label for a retro ice cream brand
The inflated caps suit a playful food product and hold up on a tub where a lighter face would disappear behind the curve.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the brand at 14 pt on a 70 mm tub label, keep the flavour in a 6 pt sans, and leave 5 mm of margin so the round edges are not squeezed by the label edge.
Pre-production check
A curved tub label pinches the outer letters; check a printed label on the actual tub and widen the margins rather than the point size.

Blobby retro display in three styles
Stay Funky
Stay Funky is a retro display in pastel pink, mint and cream on a pale ground: fat blobby letters of uneven height, each one a different colour with a dark outline and a white sticker edge, with drawn daisies between the words.
Ideas for this font
Groovy layered display with heavy offset
Retro Vintage
Retro Vintage is a groovy display in sage green and dusty pink with a deep plum offset: fat rounded letters that lean and swell, a solid shadow layer that steps down and to the right, and ligatures that fuse adjoining letters into a single shape.

Textured tall slab
Retro Groove Stacked
Oldstone is a textured slab in off-white on a dark green ground: tall condensed slabs with heavy bracketed serifs, a worn surface that chips the edges and fills the counters at random, offered in regular and stamp, with small flanking notes and a bordered strip beneath, so the plate reads as an aged print.
Wavy heavy capitals with bulging sides
Wavy Retro
Wavy Retro shows thick letters with curved outer edges and uneven tops, where the W spreads broadly, the O tilts and the T carries an exaggerated rightward arm, and the cream title sits on orange with almost no additional decoration.
