About Mooli

Mooli is a sans serif typeface designed for young readers. The official notes say it is derived from the Mulish family and meant for use across the web on computers and mobile devices. What sets it apart in the specimen is the lowercase: a and g are single-storey, close to the shapes children are taught to write, the l ends in a curved foot, the q has a small flick on its stem, and the y finishes in a rounded tail. Capitals are wide and plain, with a bar on top of the J and a pointed-leg Q. Strokes are of even thickness and the figures are capital height. The family consists of one Regular style with 459 glyphs for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets, and it is not a variable font. Vernon Adams is credited as designer, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Mooli works

Early reading books and worksheets
Single-storey a and g match handwritten models, so beginners meet the same shapes in print as on the board.
Classroom slides and learning apps
Wide, even letters with a distinct l and q stay clear on a projector or a tablet.
Labels and signs for children's spaces
A plain Regular in large sizes names shelves, coat hooks and activity corners.
Children's material in other languages
Latin Extended coverage brings the accents of Polish, Czech, Turkish and Romanian into the same letterforms.

Fonts that pair with Mooli

Mulish Sans Serif

Mooli is derived from Mulish, so Mulish adds a range of weights and italics around Mooli's schoolbook letterforms.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Use Mooli 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.

CSS, self-hosted
@font-face {
  font-family: "Mooli";
  src: url("/assets/fonts/Mooli-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

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

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