About Mulish Fonts

Mulish is a minimalist Sans Serif typeface, designed for both display and text typography.

It was initially drawn in 2011 by Vernon Adams and then refined until 2014, adding more weights, support for more Latin languages, tightened the spacing and kerning and made many glyph refinements throughout the family – all based on hundreds of users' feedback. In 2017 the family was updated by Jacques Le Bailly to complete the work started by Vernon after he passed away, in collaboration with his wife Allison, an arist who holds the trademark on the typeface family name. In August 2019, it was updated with a Variable Font "Weight" axis.

Who Designed Mulish?

Vernon Adams portrait

Vernon Adams

Vernon practiced typeface design professionally from 2007 to 2014. A lifelong artist, during this period he eagerly explored designing type for the mobile/cloud era of computing. His work spans all genres, from lively script faces to workhorse text families and operating system UI. Vernon graduated with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) in 2006, and passed away in California in 2014. Almost all his typefaces live on as open source Google Fonts, and his favorite projects were Oxygen Mono, Monda, and Bowlby One. Follow his story at sansoxygen.com
