Open Source

Each character displays road-like shapes with path character suggesting creative journeys and unique routes. This creative unique style suits path-finding content, journey branding, and designs requiring typography with distinctive road character. The chemin (path) reference emphasizes journey direction.

Chemin comes from the work of Raina Agarwal. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Chemin features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for personal branding and lifestyle blogs.

Chemin is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency spanning screen and print contexts, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
