About Anaheim

Anaheim is a slightly narrow sans serif created for the web: its stated purpose is free use by browsers across desktops, laptops and phones. In the specimen the curves of o, e and c are squared off at the sides, the capital I and J carry horizontal bars, and the lowercase l ends in a small curve, which helps tell I, l and 1 apart on screen. Strokes are light and even at Regular, and the letters are set with open spacing. The family is one variable file with a weight axis from 400 to 800, named as Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold and ExtraBold; it has no italic. The font contains 720 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Vernon Adams is credited as designer, the license notice names The Anaheim Project Authors, and the family is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
