## About Nunito Sans

Nunito Sans is a sans serif family in which stroke ends are cut flat, unlike its sibling Nunito, whose terminals are rounded. The specimen shows round bowls, an even stroke and a simple, open construction. According to the official notes, Vernon Adams started the project with Nunito and Jacques Le Bailly extended it and drew this non-rounded version; Manvel Shmavonyan and Alexei Vanyashin are also credited. In February 2023 the family became a variable font with four axes: weight from 200 to 1000, width from 75 to 125, optical size from 6 to 12 and a lowercase height axis from 440 to 540. Eight named weights, ExtraLight to Black, come in roman and italic, 16 styles in all. The same update added Cyrillic. The fonts hold 1,100 glyphs covering Latin, Cyrillic and Vietnamese.

## Where it works

- **Product interfaces**: Flat terminals and round bowls give buttons, menus and forms a clean look across eight weights.
- **Small labels and captions**: The optical size axis, from 6 to 12, adjusts the design for very small text.
- **Responsive headings**: Width from 75 to 125 lets a title condense on phones and widen on desktop from one file.
- **Body text with a matching display face**: Rounded Nunito can take headlines while Nunito Sans carries paragraphs in the same proportions.
- **Sites in Russian or Ukrainian**: Cyrillic was added in the 2023 update and follows the Latin design.

## Things to know

- **Four axes**: Weight 200 to 1000, width 75 to 125, optical size 6 to 12 and lowercase height (YTLC) 440 to 540.
- **Lowercase height is a custom axis**: YTLC is set through font-variation-settings; it has no dedicated CSS property.
- **No Greek**: Latin, Cyrillic and Vietnamese are covered; Greek is not.
