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

About Elms Sans

Elms Sans is a sans serif family built on near-circular curves. In the specimen the O, C and G come close to full circles, the lowercase a is a single-storey bowl with a short stem, and strokes keep an even thickness from Thin to Black. The ampersand is the oddest character: an open form topped by a short horizontal bar. The family is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 100 to 900; nine named weights with italics make 18 styles. Its 1,080 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended character sets and the letters needed for Vietnamese. The name table inside the font credits Amarachi Nwauwa, and the official listing adds Gida Type Studio. The copyright notice is dated 2025, and the files are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Elms Sans works

Brand identities

Round capitals and the single-storey a give a wordmark a geometric character, and nine weights cover a logo, a strapline and the small print below.

Interface text

Regular and Medium carry labels and forms while SemiBold marks buttons; the weight axis accepts any value from 100 to 900 for fine tuning.

Large headings

Thin and ExtraLight at big sizes show off the round bowls, and Black gives the same shapes enough mass for a hero line.

Copy in several Latin-script languages

Vietnamese accents and Central European letters for Polish, Czech or Turkish are in the font, so translated pages keep one typeface.

Slides and reports

Italics exist for every weight, which keeps emphasis and citations inside the same family.

Things to know

Two variable files

One file holds the upright styles and a second holds the italics; each spans the full 100 to 900 weight range.

The axis defaults to Thin

The default position of the weight axis is 100. Set the weight explicitly, for example font-weight: 400 in CSS, to get Regular.

Latin scripts only

The character sets are Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
