Gobsmacked

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!
