Changa is a variable font: the download holds the whole weight range in one file, and the named weights above are positions on that range.

About Changa

Changa is a sans serif family that Eduardo Tunni drew for text. Its curves are squared off: the bowls of a, b, d and o are rounded rectangles, and in the specimen the g ends in an open angular tail while the ampersand and the at sign are assembled from straight segments. Short ascenders and descenders, with capitals only slightly taller than the lowercase, let lines sit close together. The family grew out of Changa One, an extra-bold display style, and in November 2019 it became a variable font with a weight axis from 200 to 800. Seven named weights run from ExtraLight to ExtraBold, and there are no italics. The file contains 791 glyphs with Latin, extended Latin and Arabic subsets. Changa is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Changa works

Arabic and Latin layouts

An Arabic subset in the same file lets bilingual headings and text share a weight axis.

Multi-line headings set tight

Short ascenders and descenders allow reduced line spacing without lines touching.

Interfaces short on vertical space

Low-rising capitals and compact extenders fit labels into toolbars, tabs and table rows.

Text hierarchy from one file

Seven weights from ExtraLight 200 to ExtraBold 800 separate captions, copy and titles.
