commonSans
commonSans is a nice, soft, warm, weird, fun, good, and bad typeface. Its appearance is inspired by the ink-spreading phenomenon found in mass-produced products—often appearing as "expiration dates," "prices," "capacity," and all kinds of practical information on eggs, bread clips, electric capacitors, and literally on the surface of most things around us.
