Groovy Abhy 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Puddy Gum' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Knicknack' by Great Scott, 'Milkyway' by RagamKata, and 'Primal' by Zeptonn (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded display face built from soft, blobby forms and thick strokes with minimal contrast. Corners are fully softened and many joins swell into bulb-like terminals, giving letters an inflated, almost liquid silhouette. Counters are small and often pinched or teardrop-shaped, while the overall rhythm alternates between wider, spreading shapes and tighter, tucked-in ones, creating a lively, uneven texture. The lowercase is simple and single-storey where applicable, with a compact, sturdy feel and generous curves throughout.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, logo wordmarks, and playful brand moments. It also works well for kids-oriented graphics, event promos, and social media titles where a soft, quirky voice is desired.
The tone is cheerful and lighthearted with a strong retro impulse, evoking hand-drawn signage and upbeat 60s–70s-inspired pop aesthetics. Its squishy, buoyant shapes read as approachable and a bit mischievous, prioritizing character over precision.
The design appears intended to deliver an exuberant, retro-leaning display look through exaggerated rounding, swollen strokes, and animated proportions, creating an instantly recognizable word shape at larger sizes.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally irregular to reinforce the wavy, organic cadence, and the heavy weight makes word shapes feel bold and poster-ready. Numerals match the same inflated geometry and read as friendly, rounded figures rather than rigid forms.
