I recently created a couple of new fonts over on Fontstruct: SbB Crunch’d and SbB Papaya 26.

SbB Crunch’d

SbB Crunch’d is a little random. Normally when I start working on a type design, I have an idea of how it will be used. In this case, I started with the shape of the “scalloped edges” and built out the font from there. I like how it turned out, even if I have no idea how I’d use it in a layout.

SbB Papaya 26

Last year, I built a font based on the numerals on McLaren’s F1 livery. The new SbB Papaya 26 updates the font to align with the look of the 2026 preseason McLaren social media graphics. Compared to my original interpretation, the 2026 font is a little more conservative and more readable.

You can download SbB Crunch’d and SbB Papaya 26 at Fontstruct with a free account.
