Sans Serif

Open Source

This typeface brings warm readability to Eastern European documents and digital content. Certa Sans's humanist proportions and italic variant create inviting text texture. Particularly suited for content platforms and publishing. Works in print and screen. Pairs with display faces for headlines.

Certa Sans comes from the work of Glen Jan. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Sans Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Lineal classification, Certa Sans features no serif extensions on stroke terminals and stroke contrast ranging from monolinear to subtly modulated. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for user interface text and navigation elements.

Certa Sans is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency spanning screen and print contexts, with 4 curated font pairings available. Extended language support spanning Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin Extended ensures reliable rendering across global audiences.
