About ITC Jellybaby
ITC Jellybaby bounces all over the place, yet manages to keep itself compact and quite readable. British designer Timothy Donaldson began the typeface as a seriously fattened version of his earlier typeface Pink, but ended up making it a witty commentary on the “futuristic” '60s typefaces that tried to look like machine type, such as Data70 and Amelia. Jellybaby is also, in its retro way, the sort of type you might expect to see on a Japanese candy package or on the title screen of an early '60s cartoon show. Yet it's quintessentially a typeface of the '90s. |
