Comfortaa 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 Comfortaa

Comfortaa is a rounded geometric sans serif design meant for large sizes, which is why it is classed here as a display face. Every stroke ends in a semicircle, the line thickness is uniform, and the bowls of a, b, d, o, p and q are close to true circles in the specimen. The lowercase a is single-storey, the t and j end in a quarter-circle hook, and the letters are wide and generously spaced. Johan Aakerlund designed the family. It is a variable font with a weight axis from 300 to 700, named Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold; there is no italic. The single file has 873 glyphs with Latin, extended Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese subsets. Comfortaa was added to Google Fonts in 2011. The copyright notice reserves the font name Comfortaa, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Headings for consumer products

The design was intended for large sizes, where its circles and wide spacing have room.

Titles in Russian or Greek

Cyrillic and Greek subsets repeat the same rounded construction for multilingual headings.

Large buttons and onboarding screens

Medium to Bold keep the uniform line visible on a coloured button or an illustration.
