About Nunito

Nunito is a sans serif family whose strokes end in rounded caps instead of flat cuts, which is visible in the specimen on every letter from the capital A to the numerals. The bowls are close to circular and the stroke thickness barely changes. The official notes say Vernon Adams first made Nunito as a rounded sans for display typography; Jacques Le Bailly then built out the complete weight range and added a flat-ended sibling, Nunito Sans. Cyreal is also credited. Today the family is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 200 to 1000. Eight named weights from ExtraLight to Black each have an italic, 16 styles in total. The fonts hold 1,098 glyphs and cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Vietnamese. Nunito was added to Google Fonts in 2012.

Nunito Sans is the flat-terminal version from the same project, so the two share proportions and named weights.

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.
