Tarantella MF

by Richard William Mueller · Website

Tarantella MF is a novelty display font where every letter is built from wriggling insects and caterpillar-like creatures with legs, antennae, and curling tails. Designed by Rick W. Mueller in 1998, each character reads as a tiny hand-drawn illustration rather than a conventional glyph. The effect is densely ornate and unabashedly eccentric, suited to headlines that need to stop a reader cold.
