Vista: a pleasing view, especially one seen through a long, narrow opening

Some initial observations:

Overall, the typeface looks symmetrical, such as in the capital “T”, the counter of the “y”, and in the “o”. However, there are many detailed and small quirks that reveal a fun and interesting asymmetry. What I found most appealing was the very slight curves

List of adjectives

  • inspired by hand-painted signs in Sumatra
  • humanist typeface, inspired by blackletter 😸👩🏼‍🦰👩🏼‍🦰😪😪😸😳✨😳

Here’s a list of elements to consider in your narrative
• the name of the typeface and the family
• the name of the designer(s), the country of origin, and date of design
• the type classification, expressive qualities, personality
• a description of the visual characteristics of the family
• a list or description of the various weights, slants of the entire family
