Groovy Ulje 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Bergk' by Designova, 'Rhode' by Font Bureau, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, and 'Gliker' by Studio Sun (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded display face with compact proportions and softly swollen strokes. Letterforms show uneven, organic curves, with subtly lopsided bowls and teardrop-like terminals that create a gently wavy baseline rhythm. Counters are small and irregular, and joins often pinch slightly, giving the silhouettes a tactile, cutout-like feel. The overall texture is dense and inky, with smooth edges and a consistent, cartoonish thickness across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where personality matters: posters, event flyers, product packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for album artwork, entertainment titles, and playful editorial headers, while dense paragraph text will feel heavy and busy at small sizes.
The font projects a cheerful, vintage-flavored personality with a relaxed, funky bounce. Its friendly softness and irregularity evoke poster-era exuberance and playful signage, leaning more toward fun and character than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable retro voice through rounded, irregular forms and a buoyant rhythm. Its emphasis is on standout shapes and a lively, psychedelic-leaning presence rather than typographic neutrality.
Several capitals (notably S, R, and G) lean into exaggerated curves, while lowercase forms keep simple, single-story structures with compact apertures. Numerals follow the same blobby logic, making them visually cohesive in headlines and short callouts.
