## About Inclusive Sans

Inclusive Sans is a sans serif family for text that puts accessibility first. Olivia King started from the friendly tone of contemporary neo-grotesques and added features that keep similar characters apart. The specimen shows them: the zero has a slash through it, the capital I carries serifs at top and bottom, and the lowercase l ends in a curved tail, so 0 and O, and I, l and 1, cannot be confused. Letters have open shapes and comfortable spacing. The family is variable along one axis, weight, from 300 to 700, with Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold as named steps and an italic for each, 10 styles altogether. Roman and italic come as two variable files. The fonts contain 550 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese and are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Public-sector and health information**: Distinct shapes for 0 and O and for I, l and 1 lower the risk of misread codes, doses and reference numbers.
- **Forms and account screens**: The slashed zero and serifed I make passwords, IDs and order numbers unambiguous in input fields.
- **Body text on the web**: Five weights with italics cover paragraphs, emphasis, captions and headings from one family.
- **Education materials**: Clearly separated letterforms help readers who are still learning to tell similar characters apart.
- **Brand guidelines with accessibility goals**: A single variable family from Light to Bold lets a brand keep one legible typeface across print and screen.

## Things to know

- **Slashed zero by default**: In the specimen the zero is drawn with a diagonal slash. In financial tables or display headings that may not be the look you expect.
- **Two variable files**: The download has one variable font for the upright styles and one for the italics, each spanning weight 300 to 700.
- **Weight stops at Bold**: There is no ExtraBold or Black, and nothing lighter than Light 300.
