About Sour Gummy

Sour Gummy is a display typeface built from rounded, even strokes that end in soft, blunt tips. In the specimen the letters lean and bounce slightly: the G curls inward, the Y drops a curved tail, the zero carries a diagonal slash and the 7 bends at the top, which gives a line the look of marker lettering. The family is a variable font with two axes, weight from 100 to 900 and width from 100 to 125, so letters can be thickened and widened independently. Nine named weights from Thin to Black each have an italic, 18 styles in all, delivered as one roman and one italic variable file. The fonts contain 385 glyphs for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets. Stefie Justprince is credited as designer, Eifetstype is named as manufacturer in the font data, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Sour Gummy works

Children's books and learning material
Rounded stroke ends and bouncing letter shapes give titles and activity sheets the look of friendly marker writing.
Sweets, snacks and toy packaging
ExtraBold and Black fill a pack front with soft, heavy letters, and the width axis stretches a short name across the label.
Stickers and social posts
A caption in Bold or Black stays legible over a photo because the strokes are thick and the corners rounded.
Game and app titles
Thin to Black in one variable file lets a title, a subtitle and button labels share the same rounded voice.
Party invitations
Light and Regular with their italics set the details under a heavy headline without changing family.
