About Nova Flat

Nova Flat is a display typeface from the Nova group, which its designer traces back to NovaCut, an alphabet of capitals and digits he made for stone inscriptions. He digitised it in 2010, added lowercase, and turned alternative letter shapes into six related fonts, Cut, Flat, Oval, Round, Slim and Square, followed by a monospaced seventh. In the specimen Nova Flat has strokes of one thickness, bowls shaped like rounded rectangles and stem ends sliced at an angle instead of square. The capital N and M are arches without diagonals, A has a rounded top, and W is built from the same curve turned over. The family is one Regular style. Its 421 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended sets. Wojciech Kalinowski is credited as designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Nova Flat works

Game and sci-fi titles

Arched N and M and rounded-rectangle bowls give a title a constructed, engineered look.

Logotypes

Angled stroke cuts are a recognisable detail in a short wordmark set at large size.

Product and device labels

Single-thickness strokes reproduce cleanly when engraved, cut or printed in one colour.

Section headings in several languages

Latin Extended coverage includes Polish, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian letters for the same headings.

Things to know

One style

Nova Flat has a single Regular style. The other Nova fonts are separate families with different letter shapes, not weights of this one.

Unusual capitals

N and M are drawn as arches, so they resemble enlarged lowercase letters; check words such as names in capitals before committing.

Latin scripts only

The character sets are Latin and Latin Extended. Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
