Free Font Friday: Modak
by Taylor Slattery | November 6, 2020
The typeface has a very retro feel to it. Largely in part to its thickness and smooth rolling curves. It’s a bit like the typographic equivalent of a van lined with shag carpet. It’s so chubby in fact, that it’s detrimental to its legibility. It has to cut into itself to reveal it’s overlaps which would otherwise make certain letterforms indistinguishable. The negative space in the e characters is virtually non-existent with others threatening to follow suit the smaller you go in size. That’s all part of its charm, though.
Modak doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. If you’re looking for a round, friendly typeface with some retro flair, you can’t go wrong with Modak. Modak is available in a single weight and can be found for free here.
