# Changa One font

Changa One is a heavy display typeface by Eduardo Tunni, drawn for titles: its lowercase fits inside a square and its ascenders and descenders are short, so lines stack tightly.

## About Changa One

Changa One is a display typeface that Eduardo Tunni drew for titles. The strokes are very heavy and the counters are small rectangles, each with two softened corners placed diagonally opposite one another, which gives the o, a and e a slightly twisted look in the specimen. Ascenders and descenders are cut short and the capitals stand only a little taller than the lowercase, so several lines can be set with very little space between them. The family has two styles, an upright and an italic; both are registered as weight 400 although the drawing is extra-bold. With 245 glyphs and the Latin subset alone, coverage is limited to Western European languages. Changa One was added to Google Fonts in 2011 and was the starting point for Changa, a later family for text. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Stacked headlines**: Short ascenders and descenders let two or three lines sit almost touching without letters colliding.
- **Sports and event posters**: The extra-bold drawing fills a line with solid colour, and the Italic adds a sense of speed.
- **Banners and video thumbnails**: Small rectangular counters stay open at the sizes a title is shown, where the heavy strokes carry from a distance.
- **Short wordmarks**: Square lowercase letters of nearly equal height form an even block for a one-word name.

## Things to know

- **Registered as Regular 400**: Both files report weight 400, so there is no lighter or heavier companion inside this family; Changa is the multi-weight relative.
- **Latin subset only**: Letters for Turkish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian are not complete, and there is no Cyrillic, Greek or Vietnamese.
- **Not variable**: Changa One ships as two static TTF files, Regular and Italic.
