Motherish: A Typeface for MOTHER Fans (Font Trailer)

[@artsyomni]

Stay tuned for the launch of my new KZbin channel, where I do acoustic + whistling covers of video game music.

[@artsyomni]

You think this is a joke???

[@Rammy_Latin]

@@artsyomni I remember you teased this years ago, right? Cuz of the whistle Pokémon cover in the "Portable Creature" typeface video.

[@_xis.byz_]

Could I use your font patch for a Romanian translation?

[@artsyomni]

@@_xis.byz_ I’m planning on including a lot of international characters, so I’ll look into what’s be necessary to support Romanian!

[@ArcRay20]

im expecting the Mario Bros. theme

[@SuperWiiBros08]

can see this being used for an HD Earthbound remake

[@Creee]

I wish I lived in a world where it was commonplace to make cool trailers for fonts

[@GetMadz]

THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE

[@EdoVro]

Here before someone says “hello checkmark”

[@Rammy_Latin]

YOU look incredible~

[@whyrwehere]

hello checkmark

[@QweRinatrtY]

hello checkmark

[@ChristopherMoom]

Can you imagine a world where MOTHER Fans are all represented by a font? Huh, I wonder which one they would be... Dumb joke aside this is actually kinda neat, good stuff

[@aurisbunni]

Holy moly, Christopher! Your comments always crack me up, this one's hilarious!

[@Zane0744]

They would be Comic Sans

[@saccharay]

that would be mr saturn font. probably.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

AMAZING! [font AND whistletrack 👌👌👌]

[@ToddM_arts]

Never thought I'd be this excited for a font, but damn. The Earthbound fan and the graphic designer in me are ecstatic for this to drop. Amazing job.

[@jonismiff]

This font is so nostalgic for whatever reason, it’s just the correct vibe and I love it. Can’t wait to genuinely use this for documents.

[@Rammy_Latin]

LMAO I saw this trailer in the Direct and said to myself "This feels like some shit Curiomatic would make" then I saw the logo at the end 💀 Anyway, This looks cool af I distinctly remember someone requested y'all to make a EB font after the Pokémon one but I never thought it'd be done! But here we are!

[@CreepyboomGamer]

Wait, what direct?

[@Rammy_Latin]

@@CreepyboomGamer The 6/13/2021 Mother Direct on the Mother Forever channel.

[@pupstermobster8567]

@@Rammy_Latin "Direct"...so...not Nintendo Direct.

[@Rammy_Latin]

@@pupstermobster8567 No, I was referring to the Mother Direct. It may not be from Nintendo but it's still called a Direct, though...

[@ErickDAces]

@@Rammy_Latin I still think not specifying it was from the MOTHER direct made people think it was something nintendo themselves acknowledged lmao

[@locke_xp]

Somehow the reveal of a new font feels more hype than most of the game reveals at E3 so far

[@NekuZX]

I've never felt this excited for a font.

[@TheNoteworthyDanny]

love this SO much-it feels like the perfect blend of new, old, and a spark of odd

[@OlisGarden]

the fact i got super hyped over this font is hilarious and shows just how beloved earthbound is to us dorks

[@einekartoffel2490]

That looks so sweet! Holy! Oh man, never have I gotten glossy eyes from a font before.

[@ians_parks]

This is so cool. Never thought I'd be this excited over a typeface.

[@kirbyandthesubparmirror8799]

Your graphic designer/animator is absolutely incredible.

[@Playfool]

LOVE IT! Your graphic design is always so on point, literally! Can't wait to use it!

[@guntober]

LETS GO!! NEW CURIOMATIC VID

[@ericjp2000]

Oh man, now I'm just sat here imagining an HD remake of Earthbound, with remixed funky remixed music, and character models based off the old clay promo pictures, maybe someday...

[@Curiomatic]

We do have one other video that might tickle your fancy then. :o

[@nickolias7292]

Love the random Mother content you guys keep putting out

[@snowyborne]

wow, this looks so good! and the trailer is incredible too

[@JAMcade1999]

This is definitely the coolest AND cutest trailer I've seen for a font, it looks so sleek!!

[@smashingrenders5396]

For some reason I'm really hyped about a font. This is a super well done vid and neat idea! Looks awesome!

[@aurisbunni]

This is super impressive! It's really faithful to the original typeface, love seeing it being reinterpreted to proper glyphs. Amazing work!

[@MrLuigiBean1]

I AM SO HYPED *FOR A FONT TRAILER!*

[@Bijo69]

I love how much love and care has been put into the earthbound series from this small channel more than Nintendo has tbh

[@wardoise]

LOVE this. incredible work

[@Totomeister]

THIS LOOKS SO GOOOOD!

[@AlastairGames]

Thanks, looking forward to this font!

[@runezunn6655]

Looking forward to the release!

[@gravity119]

You guys have been feeding Mother fans for YEARS

[@semeyeify]

I love the idea of a font trailer 😄

[@deatsbybre7162]

Best thing to come from e3 today.

[@BrandonTheFanGuy]

This is the most hype font I've ever seen

[@stupakoopa_3987]

I got chills...

[@Limayde]

The concept of a "font trailer" is really funny, but the trailer itself is dope as hell.

[@sswiatlo]

im here from the mother direct, this is awesome

[@drawtimefull]

Best E3 announcement

[@memorableman3709]

I fucking ADORE this rendition of the Onett theme. They should upload it on its own!

[@NERDmNERDf]

Never have I ever been hyped... Over a font…

[@devonteedwards2093]

Amazing trailer

[@shroomer8294]

This is so cool! I’d love this for something like a super Mario world font.

[@CreepyboomGamer]

I could force 0:34 into a Sans is Ness joke, but the font is to cool for such a bad joke.

[@NwAgeRetro]

Why am I tearing up over a trailer for a font?

[@deelinf]

I wish I had this typeface for my design assignments in college... I would have used it on EVERY assignment and presentation!

[@gomelo6787]

They should totally use this for Mother Dimensions

[@Armm8991]

I hope it comes out soon 🙏

[@macs536]

*screams in excitement*

[@aiaikawa4012]

Stooop you make me want mother remakes 😭

[@FireallyXTheories]

In other words, this typeface doesn't stink!

[@StevensSounds]

This is the best thing I've seen today.

[@StevensSounds]

@@Curiomatic AND I'm currently watching the last season of Netflix She-Ra, which is pretty awesome! So the fact that this is better is *really* awesome!!

[@Curiomatic]

@@StevensSounds I dunno why the reply to your first comment disappeared. >_>

[@BrightSpark]

This must be the first trailer for a typeface... in the world.

[@BlastoiseVeteran]

waiting patiently already lol

[@DjSaturnMusic]

amazing!

[@doinkle_idk]

THIS IS BEEN ONLY ONE GOOD THING ON DIRECT!

[@jonnygulmatico9472]

This should be used on Mother/Earthbound 3D Trilogy.

[@alexandruvasile2400]

omg this is so stylish

when is the font coming out? It still says "coming soon"

[@cyncynshop]

Sorry to all the other things showed in the direct, but this is my favorite thing in the direct

[@ApplzAndHoney]

0:21 I’m never gonna hear this

[@tomclayson1934]

Thanks for continuing to do weird stuff

[@nesssel]

Found a small typo in the website description: ...to remain faithful *to* their pixilated counterparts...

[@Curiomatic]

Nice catch!

[@DatKooby]

Distinguished!

[@Jake629]

OOOOOOOOOO

[@goshator]

Looks awesome! Does it have cyrillic letters?

[@runaway74]

Guessing 8/27 will be the release of the beta based on "827 damage"

[@Curiomatic]

That wasn’t the intention, but that’s not a bad idea. =P That date does have some significance though. 👀

[@alexander13358]

Hey, what Greek letters are compatible? In my RPG project, I’m using α, β, γ, δ, ζ, θ, π, Σ, Ψ, and Ω. I expect α, β, γ, Σ, and Ω to be included, but what about the rest? Anyways, I love your work! Side note: I’m also using the Hebrew letter, Aleph. (א) Is there some way that you can grant access to all Greek letters, Aleph, and possibly Hiragana, Katakana, and the punctuation marks for Japanese? I understand if that’s too much work, and I’m okay if you don’t want to do it. I’m just excited to use this for my database of items, attacks, and supernatural abilities!

[@rosstheboss6266]

Cool

[@NunofYerbizness]

Somewhat unrelated, but; The "Flutter Jump" typeface, is there currently plans to also adapt the lettering from the v1.0 version of Yoshi's Island? Like a "Flutter Jump Light" or something.

[@jester333]

will this be put on google docs, slides etc?

[@doniarts]

Very nice, in all honesty maybe I should improve on my typography :3 just so I'd be able to contribute to these Haha.

[@_.NullAccount._]

No se que decir desde que descubrí esto, pero en algún momento lo compraré (Por Diversión!). Y tengo que decir algo, y es que hagas uno como el de video, pero con el texto de Dialogo/Selección de Super Mario 64; Sería muy divertido sabiendo la comunidad del dicho Juego. XD El nombre que se me ocurre sería entre: "Toadstool Handwring", "Paper Card" u Otro que Inventes.

[@ThatGuy001]

Ooo, can it do ligatures for this symbols: != or !== ?

[@titanic_monarch796]

was this the font used in the wess dance video?

[@SYANster]

Ngl I wanna use this for my website

[@skribblingstuff1017]

the only change id make to this is id call it “MOTHERLY” instead of Motherish

[@Curiomatic]

Main reason I didn't go with that is because "Motherly" as an adjective already has its own design connotations, which this typeface doesn't really adhere to. I also thought "Motherish" was more quirky, which is appropriate given the source material. It also carries another hidden meaning, since "motherish" could be interpreted as the language of mothers, and the typeface is based on dialogue text. We also wanted to leave room to have a sister font called "Saturnish." tl;dr: there's a lot of reasons I went with "Motherish." =P ~Omni

[@aetheralmeowstic2392]

Hey, would it be possible to get an oblique version of this font?

[@RockyTheThird]

Comic sans vs Motherish Ness

[@bbb-vvv-bbb]

Question - Do you happen to have a usage policy?

[@chaos_nightshade]

i dont really care about the mother series but still this is really neat

[@SuperGoKana]

Upon release, will this be up for sale or in the public domain? I would really like the option to use it in my own games (w/ credit ofc).

[@Curiomatic]

Right now we’re contemplating releasing both a free and paid version, with the paid version being affordable. But it’s yet to be determined. Either way, people would be able to use it commercially.

[@thodds68]

looks cool is this font free to use so we could use it in indie games? it looks more practile than the other game fonts.

[@monocleenthusiast2381]

the chromatic aberration in this video makes my eyes bleed

[@Jonloo1]

Wait, was Portable Creature already released?

[@Curiomatic]

We have a public beta for it right now, which you can try by joining the curioglyphic discord. (Link in description)
