Looking for some thick, blobby cursive

My sister asked me to help her find a font she saw in an Instagram ad that could best be described as thick or blobby cursive. Although I couldn't find an exact match (Klangfarbe below is probably closest), I did run across some good ones. I tried to include one free for personal use but the other two are commercial only.

The New Start (or Blank's Script Font because it's available as a duo) by Billy Argel.

Demo poster for Abhartach, a funky display font

This year has been busy and I've been a little distracted. But, with everything out in the world looking pretty bleak right now, it's nice to spend some time focusing on things that are... nice.

Abhartach is a funky font by Fontdation (seemingly also known as Twicolabs). It has a late sixties feel while also being modern. I also really love the sample images here. Free for demo use only.

Demo poster for Gremlin, a boxy outline font
I've recommended a couple TypeFactory fonts already but Gremlin is also a good one. It's a boxy outline font and free for personal use. My only complaint is that it was a little hard to look up by name because SEO really prefers the title font from the movie Gremlins.

The year has been over for two days so, before I close it out, here's a quick look back at all the fonts I recommended. The big question is, how close will I get to twelve?

Starday Font Poster
Did I claim to be taking a break from groovy, sixties inspired fonts? That was an obvious lie.

I'm breaking my word with Starday by Lettersweet. It's a fun, retro font and free for personal use.

Pearson Font Poster
Philipa Font Poster
Recommending two fonts with a similar vibe by the same foundry. Why choose? Pearson and Philipa are two tall, bottom heavy fonts by TypeFactory. Free for personal use.

Download at Font Space (Pearson, Philipa) or buy at Creative Fabrica (Pearson, Philipa).

ZT Shago by Zelow Type is a pretty fun, unique font family. The regular version is available to download free for personal use although I'm most partial to the extra rounded bolder weights.
