Tumble Oui'd (WIP Font)

Haven't shared any progress on this font here since I added lowercase. Following some great advice from Léon Hugues, I looked to Clarendon types as a reference for proportions, and I'm quite happy with the rhythm and texture of this face. Still got some work to do (it's kerning time baby...) but this funky lil freak will be available to license sometime early to mid 2023 via Blaze Type's The Box (which is a fact I still cannot believe is true)!

I am specifically looking for feedback on the name of this typeface! I've been calling it "Tumble Oui'd" since it's inception. Tbh the idea for the font came from the idea for the name. "Tumble Oui'd, like a French tumbleweed. That's a funny name for a font. Wonder what it would look like." So I started sketching this art nouveau cowboy jammer and...here we are. Damn you, wordplay.

My questions, for the three of you that have read this far: Is this name funny? Will land with an international audience? Do you have an idea for a better name??? Thank you for your time, Dribbblers.
