Peasy is my first original typeface release. It's a low-contrast, humanist sans serif typeface with a friendly air. Peasy was designed for extended reading and medium-sized display copy, with a neutral but refreshing personality and a gestural, soft quality. It's a family of 12 fonts – six weights of roman and italic styles.
