Designers Note
Josefin Sans is a modern, geometric sans-serif typeface inspired by the 1920s and 30s. Designed with clean lines and subtle elegance, it features high legibility and a minimalist aesthetic, making it ideal for headlines, logos, and contemporary web design. Its open forms and balanced proportions ensure clarity across both print and digital media.
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.
