Gob (a portmanteau of ‘gastric’ and ‘blob’) is a playful display font family with knobbly silhouettes, not unlike a digestive tract. What began as an inverse typographic experiment evolved into multiple styles (Verti, Hori, and Uni with a set of alternates) through stretching, squeezing, and reworking its stroke segments. Later, a FontStruct colour font competition pushed Gob further, spawning the pixelated, shadow-layered Pixi variation.

Gob Pixi is an amalgamation of different experiments with colour, display type and visual effects throughout the years of working with a comfortable, personal design palette.

Having been obsessed with grain textures and primary + secondary colours throughout the start of 2020s, I was moved to translate that into typography after seeing Kilotype's Lofi Forest "fizzy-fying" an otherwise sharp-looking Roman/Serif.

Also, I have worked on a type project that got me to layer different coloured shadows and highlights above each other, so this is my attempt at translating that effect onto another typeface that I've shelved for quite a while now. (I happened to come up with something similar to Get Yourself Connected by chance and didn't know what to make do with it.)
