About Finlandica Text

Finlandica Text is a sans serif family with sturdy, upright letters and a tall lowercase. The specimen shows curves that flatten slightly where they meet the stems, most clearly in the a, the parentheses and the at sign, and an ampersand drawn as an open, E-like shape. The figures are as tall as the capitals. The family is a variable font whose only axis is weight, from 100 to 900; nine named weights, Thin to Black, exist in upright and italic, 18 styles in total. The fonts contain 1,155 glyphs and cover the Latin, Latin Extended, Vietnamese and Cyrillic character sets. Helsinki Type Studio is named as manufacturer, with Niklas Ekholm, Juho Hiilivirta and Jaakko Suomalainen as designers, and the copyright notice refers to The Finlandica Project Authors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Finlandica Text works

Body text on screens and in print

A tall lowercase with Regular and Medium uprights and true italics covers paragraphs, emphasis and captions.

Public-facing services and forms

Sturdy shapes and capital-height figures keep labels, reference numbers and instructions plain to read.

Identity systems

Nine weights from Thin to Black let one family handle a logotype line, headings and legal small print.

Pages in Cyrillic and Latin

Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian share the 1,155-glyph fonts with Latin text, so bilingual layouts stay consistent.

Responsive headings

The 100 to 900 axis lets a heading be tuned a few units heavier or lighter as its size changes.

Things to know

Two variable files

Upright and italic are separate variable fonts, each with the complete 100 to 900 weight range.

The axis default is 500

Without an explicit weight, software that uses the font's default will show Medium, not Regular.

No static files in the package

The package holds the variable fonts. Static cuts of the 18 styles are offered by the official source.

No Greek

Cyrillic and Vietnamese are present alongside Latin, but Greek is not.
