About Carme

Carme is a sans serif typeface designed for text. The specimen shows low-contrast strokes, round letters close to circles, a two-storey a beside a single-storey g, and a y with a straight tail. Letters are spaced generously, so words look open and airy even in the Regular weight, and the capitals are wide. Carme has one style, Regular 400. The official description announces a bold as forthcoming, but no bold is part of this family as published. That description counts 206 for version 1.0; the current file holds 217 glyphs. Coverage is narrow: the accents for French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and the Nordic languages are present, while the German ß and the Latin Extended range are not. Rubén Prol is the designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Carme works

Captions and short paragraphs

Open spacing and low-contrast strokes keep a few lines of small text even in colour.

Interface labels

Round, widely spaced letters stay distinct on buttons and navigation items.

Minimal portfolio and landing pages

A single quiet weight suits layouts that rely on size and space instead of bold type.

Spanish, French and Portuguese copy

The accented letters for these languages are within the 217 glyphs.

Fonts that pair with Carme

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Use Carme on the web

Download the family and host the files on your own site, then declare them in CSS. Please do not link to the files on trendhub.net: preview files here are subsets and their addresses change.

@font-face {
  font-family: "Carme";
  src: url("/assets/fonts/Carme-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: "Carme", sans-serif;
}

Or load it from the official source. Google Fonts serves Carme with this markup:

Things to know

Regular only

There is no bold or italic. A browser asked for bold will thicken the Regular artificially.

No ß

The German sharp s is not in the font, so German text is not fully covered.

Basic Latin only

Turkish, Polish, Czech and other Latin Extended alphabets are outside its character set.

Glyph count differs from the description

The designer's note gives a count of 206 for version 1.0; the file in this package contains 217 glyphs.
