Potelé Font takes its name from the French word for plump, and the letterforms earn it: chubby all-caps on heavy strokes, full round bowls, and soft huggable terminals, all finished with a naive hand-drawn wobble. It grows out of French sign-painting and the fat rounded lettering of 1970s film posters and café storefronts — yes, a café cliché. Annoyingly useful.
The font goes loud at display sizes, where the round caps take up room and do the talking. Tight tracking suits it best: squeeze the letters together and one word sets into a ready-made logo, the way an old shop sign reads as a single mark.
