If you can’t read it, take a few steps back! A marvel of optical effects, Plenaire imagines what the Impressionist painters of the late-nineteenth century might produce as type designers in the twenty-first. Up close its ‘daubs’ appear chaotic and illegible, but at a distance its shapes resolve into elegant and readable italic letters, like the wondrous brushstrokes of Claude Monet or Georges Seurat.
At its sloppiest extreme, Plenaire can be difficult to read. (That specimen above says “What this says is a SECRET!”) Purchase a license for the whole family to gain access to the variable font so you can decide exactly how scattered you’d like your spots to be.
