About Duru Sans

Duru Sans is a sans serif typeface with little difference between thick and thin strokes. Its official description places it in the low-contrast sans tradition of the twentieth century and presents it as a mix of humanist and modernist impulses, usable across a wide range of sizes. In the specimen the letters are fairly wide with open apertures, the lowercase a is double-storey, curves join the stems smoothly and the strokes are on the light side of regular, so a line looks airy. The family has one Regular style, with no bold or italic, and is not a variable font. Its 411 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, including the letters for Turkish, Polish and Czech. Onur Yazıcıgil is the designer; the copyright belongs to Sorkin Type Co, and the name Duru is reserved under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Duru Sans works

Website headings and navigation

Open apertures and even strokes keep menu items and section titles clear on screens.

Captions and short descriptions

The light, wide letters stay legible in the few lines under an image or product.

Turkish-language pages

Turkish letters such as ğ, ş and the dotless ı are in the character set, so Turkish copy needs no fallback font.

Clean presentation slides

A plain, low-contrast sans leaves charts and pictures as the focus of a slide.

Use Duru Sans 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: "Duru Sans";
  src: url("/assets/fonts/DuruSans-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

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

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

Things to know

Regular only

Duru Sans has a single weight. Bold text will be synthesised by the browser or application unless another family is used.

Reserved Font Name

The license notice reserves the name Duru, so modified versions need a different name unless permission is given.

Latin scripts only

Latin and Latin Extended are covered; Cyrillic and Greek are not.
