About Nerko One
Nerko One is a handwriting typeface that imitates a broad marker. The strokes in the specimen are thick with fully rounded ends, they swell and narrow slightly along their length, and the counters of letters such as o, a and e are small slanted ovals. The lowercase k is drawn like a small capital, and the 9 has a straight stem. According to the official description the shapes were worked out with traditional marker pens on paper before being taken to the screen, which explains the natural unevenness. The heavy colour makes the face a choice for short, friendly messages. Nerko One has a single Regular style and is not a variable font. It holds 440 glyphs in the Latin and Latin Extended subsets. Nermin Kahrimanovic is the designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

- Casual social posts
- A few words in the chunky Regular give a welcoming, spoken tone to an announcement.
