| Designed by David Kerkhoff, Gobsmacked is a brush display font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Hanoded. |
Gobsmacked is a rather new English word. It has been around since 1959 and was used mostly around Liverpool at that time. The word means: ’astounded’, ‘flabbergasted’ (another nice word!) or ‘speechless’. Gob could be of French or Scottish Gaelic origin and means ‘mouth’.
Gobsmacked font was created using a brush and black gouache. The result is a very eroded, very legible and quite unique brush font. I have created alternates for the lower case letters, plus two double letter ligatures (oo and ss).
Use it for any design that needs a little brushwork; I am sure the result will leave you gobsmacked!
