Chase Zen Holy Monkey Nuts

by Chung-Deh Tien · Website

Chase Zen Holy Monkey Nuts is a decorative serif display face by Chung-Deh Tien with heavily embellished letterforms that pile on ornamental flourishes to almost absurd effect. The vintage styling and fancy detailing give it a maximalist, over-the-top personality that somehow works for headlines, invitations, and novelty designs where restraint isn't really the goal. The name alone tells you this font doesn't take itself seriously, but the craftsmanship in the ornamentation is genuinely intricate.
