Is it intentional that the baseline vertical offset doesn’t seem consistent? Text set in this has a sort of up-and-down sloppy effect. Otherwise I love it.
Edit: it mostly seems that capitals appear higher than lowercase. It feels like there’s more inconsistency though, like the designer didn’t pay attention to eg the perceived “bottom” of curved characters vs flat-bottom ones.
It’s cute, and I’m trusting enough to believe them when it says 100% home made, but square images with a strong yellow tint will forever be associated with ChatGPT 4o image generation in my mind.
Unfortunately, this might become something like the em-dash—where artists start tweaking their work to look less like the AI’s that are copying them.
It's interesting; I'd imagine very similar design briefs (friendliness, breadliness, etc)
The ICBINB font is almost a semi-serif, almost like a sans serif that's slightly melted, whereas I'd say the crumpet is fully serif. The "e", "L" and "v" are pretty different. And I'd say the ICBINB font lends itself better to tighter spaces, whereas the crumpet font seems to beg for more space.
But certainly, I could see one being used to replace another in a pinch - but I'm not a font specialist (graphologist? Is there a word for a person who studies fonts?)
That's beautiful, I'd love a monospaced variant of this to replace Comic Mono in my IDE/Fira Mono in my terminal. IANA font expert though, would that even be possible?
Too few people appreciate typefaces. Are they under-overall though? Those who do appreciate get really, really, really into them. I'm sure it nets out. :-)
Really feel like this ought to have been named Wensleydale.
(this is awesome)
EDIT: I'm wrong
Wensleydale is a place in Yorkshire, and a style of cheese, not specific to any one brand, so you could.
I'm not sure it's a brand name so much as a type of cheese.

I was just coming here to say, it looks like each letter is about to fall over backwards.

There's a miniscule dent on the top of the capital B that's really bothering me. Idk, I know everyone's a critic, but it just doesnt sit right with me
Was the crumpet buttered with "I can't believe it's not butter"?
( The typeface looks a lot like https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/i-cant-believe-i... )
Ah, a British convergence! That phrase always makes me think of this now (from the Vicar of Dibley): https://youtu.be/37ficiqoE6U

Yeah. It's convergent evolution towards bouba-ness. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect)
Nice find! That looks like Cooper Black, which the article cites as inspiration.
There are a lot of similarities. You must either have a great memory for fonts, or eat a lot of butter alternative spread, either way good eye!

Shouldn't there be some holes?
Is there a nerdfont variant?
Fonts are such an underappreciated art form. Love this

Very cute and charming!
