Pally
Fontshare · Jean-Baptiste Morizot · 2021
A deliberately wobbly, informal sans-serif by Jean-Baptiste Morizot, with asymmetric letterforms and atypical stroke angles that give it a playful, characterful rhythm.
About
Designed by Jean-Baptiste Morizot and released through Fontshare in 2021, Pally pairs monolinear strokes with intentionally uneven letterforms: the left and right sides of many glyphs differ in size and height, strokes meet at unexpected angles, and the ascenders of lowercase letters clear the cap height. The character set includes a double-storey 'a', a single-storey 'g' and a Jensonian 'e', and the family is available as three static weights plus a variable font covering 135 languages. It suits headlines, signage and editorial contexts aimed at children's services or informal branding where typographic eccentricity is an asset.
Classification
Pally is classified as a sans-serif with a highly informal, wobbly character. Its monolinear strokes, asymmetric letterforms and atypical stroke angles place it firmly outside neutral grotesque or geometric territory.
