About
Designed in 2023, Superficial takes its cues from liquid materials and bubbly shapes, producing a rounded display alphabet suited to informal, high-impact uses. The 231-glyph set covers letters, numerals, punctuation and diacritics for 93 languages, giving it broader reach than most novelty faces in its register. It is available only in a single Regular weight, which channels its personality through form rather than weight variation.
Classification
A single-weight display face built around liquid, bubbly forms with rounded, inflated letterforms. The organic, playful construction places it firmly in the novelty display category rather than any conventional geometric or humanist tradition.
