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

About Mozilla Text

Mozilla Text is a sans serif family with strokes of even thickness and fairly wide, open letters. In the specimen the lowercase a is two-storey, the l ends in a curved foot that separates it from the capital I and the figure 1, and the zero is crossed by a diagonal slash. Capitals and lowercase share a plain, upright construction without decorative details. The family is a variable font with a single axis, weight, from 200 to 700, and its named weights are ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold: 6 styles, with no italics. The file holds 417 glyphs for Western and Central European Latin. Studio DRAMA is credited as the designer, and the copyright notice names The Mozilla Text Project Authors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Mozilla Text works

Interface text

The footed l and slashed zero keep labels, form values and identifiers unambiguous at small sizes.

Documentation and articles

Regular and Medium set paragraphs, with SemiBold and Bold available for headings and emphasis.

Codes and reference numbers

A slashed zero separates 0 from O in order numbers, version strings and keys.

Type hierarchies from one file

The 200 to 700 weight axis supplies light display lines and bold labels from a single variable font.

Letters for Turkish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian are included.

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 Mozilla Text 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.

@font-face {
  font-family: "Mozilla Text";
  src: url("/assets/fonts/MozillaText-VariableFont_wght.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: 200 700;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

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

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