Cheesecake specimen from Mark Simonson

An ultra-bold single-weight script that plays sixties and seventies lettering as a broader, more exaggerated caricature of itself.

About

Cheesecake grew out of sketches Simonson kept making while developing Dreamboat. It takes the same ultra-bold script territory but simplifies it, with a bigger x-height and more extreme letterforms, plus an alternate cursive lowercase s and a set of matching dingbats. It's built for branding, advertising, posters, book covers and packaging rather than text.

Classification

A connected, ultra-bold script drawn in one weight, so it belongs with the script faces rather than any structured text category.
