About Imprima

Imprima is a sans serif typeface designed by Eduardo Tunni with small-size printing in mind. The official notes point to three devices: broad counters, firm joins where curves meet stems, and ink traps, the small notches that stop ink from filling tight corners on inexpensive home printers. In the specimen the lowercase a and g are single-storey, the k and y carry a slight handwritten bend, and stroke contrast is low. Those details become visible when the face is set large. The family consists of one Regular style, with no bold or italic, and it is not a variable font. Its 430 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, and an update in February 2023 enlarged the glyph set and added fractions. Imprima is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, with Imprima as a Reserved Font Name.

Where Imprima works

Home-printed documents

Ink traps and open counters keep letters from clogging when a page comes off an inkjet or a low-cost laser printer.

Forms and small labels

Wide counters hold the shapes of a, e and o apart at the small sizes used for field labels and footnotes.

Recipes and price lists

The 2023 glyph set includes fractions, so halves and quarters can be set as single characters.

Large titles

Set big, the single-storey a and the bent k give a heading a character that small text hides.

Things to know
