About Josefin Sans Fonts

The idea of this typeface is to be geometric, elegant, with a vintage feeling, for use at larger sizes. It is inspired by geometric sans serif designs from the 1920s. The x-height is half way from baseline to cap height, an unusual proportion.

There is a sister family, Josefin Slab

In December 2019, it was updated with a Variable Font "Weight" axis.
