Octopuss Regular

Octopuss Regular was designed by the renowned British typographer Colin Brignall in 1970 for Letraset. This typeface is a quintessential example of the late 1960s and early 1970s display aesthetic, featuring extremely heavy, rounded forms that seem to flow into one another like liquid. The design reflects the heavy influence of the psychedelic and pop art movements of the era, prioritizing massive visual impact and unique personality over traditional legibility standards.

The font is characterized by its soft, bubble-like appearance and minuscule counters, which give it a dense and powerful presence on the page. Because of its extreme weight and distinctive curves, it is primarily intended for large-scale applications where the shapes can be fully appreciated. It remains a popular choice for designers today who are looking to evoke a sense of vintage funk, retro-cool branding, or creative editorial layouts that require a touch of 1970s nostalgia.
