"It is a treat to find a typeface that tastes as good as it looks. The Noeler family, designed in 2025 by Michael Rafailyk, a new novelty family that looks as eatable as it is settable - and its five iterations underscore this. Noeler Pasta is much like the comfort food from which its name derives: slivers of spaghetti that coalesce into letters so naturally that the uppercase-only alphabet is a feast for the eye."
"You might very well ask how such an eccentric, hand-drawn face with such a noisy confetti-like concoction of color and shape actually works. The answer lies in more ways than we could imagine. Given its bespoke hand-lettered quality, any of these options makes for a vibrant logo or eye-catching headline. When multiple words are conjoined, the face is perfectly legible even with its tremulous vibrating quality. The multiple forms that comprise each letter project a shimmy and shake."
"It is surprising what a talented typographic designer can do with an assortment of odd forms, such as Noeler, but with a clear eye and a deft hand, this typeface offers many more possibilities than conceivable. Although it is only the first of the new year, for its clever conceptual twist, wit, and functionality, Noeler Candy might very well become the sweetest font family of the year. I look forward to seeing the as yet unseen results of its users."
Noeler is a 2025 hand-drawn novelty typeface family by Michael Rafailyk with five food-inspired iterations. Noeler Pasta uses spaghetti-like slivers to form an uppercase-only alphabet with coalescing letterforms. Adding color to strands produces Noeler Candy, with sugar-coated, confetti-like hues, and adding green yields Noeler Firtree. Despite its eccentric, tremulous, and noisy appearance, the face remains perfectly legible in headlines and logos; multiple words retain clarity while suggesting vibration and movement. The bespoke letterforms project playful shimmy and shake yet function effectively in identity work. Steven Heller is named as a celebrated designer and influential commentator.
