About Belanosima

Belanosima is a geometric sans serif made for a practical job. The official notes call it a DocRepair font: it is meant to help documents comply with the ISO/IEC 29500 standard by standing in for a font a file asks for, while keeping text reflow in Office Open XML documents to a minimum. Its drawing is based on Josefin Sans, a geometric family with a vintage flavour that goes back to sans serifs of the 1920s. In the specimen the letters are fairly heavy even at Regular, with circular o shapes, a small lowercase beside tall capitals and a tilted bar on the e. Three weights are included, Regular 400, SemiBold 600 and Bold 700, with no italics, and the family is not a variable font. The 265 glyphs cover the basic Latin character set. Belanosima is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Belanosima works

Office documents that need a fallback

Belanosima was built so that a document calling for an unavailable font keeps its line breaks and page count when opened.

Slide and report headings

Regular already reads as a strong weight, and SemiBold and Bold add two heavier steps for titles.

Posters with a 1920s flavour

Round bowls and a small lowercase carry the vintage geometric look inherited from Josefin Sans.

Short labels and badges

Three sturdy weights hold up in a few words on a sticker, a tag or a button.
