The g is inspired by Kabel, no optical compensations, bad balancing and naïve geometry. I’d say custom. And as such, poorly executed.

agreed.

Ha! I love Raisonne. "Naïve?" I'd say idiosyncratic. There are still times and places for quirks.

I'm not a fan of the face, but I like the description, which includes this:

"The typeface is parodic-serious, intended to be a bit dumb, blunt, candid, affable—honest in the same way Modernism liked its materials."
