## 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.

## Where it works

- **Friendly app interfaces**: Rounded stroke ends soften buttons, chips and onboarding screens while the letter shapes stay plain.
- **Education and children's products**: The soft terminals and simple round forms suit learning apps and school materials.
- **Headings with body text in the sibling**: Nunito can set titles while Nunito Sans, drawn to the same proportions, sets paragraphs.
- **Marketing pages**: ExtraBold 800 and Black 900 make soft-edged hero headlines; Regular handles the supporting copy.
- **Interfaces in Cyrillic**: Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian letters carry the same rounded endings.

## Things to know

- **The axis goes to 1000**: Named weights stop at Black 900, but the variable axis extends from 200 to 1000.
- **One axis only**: Nunito varies in weight; width and optical size axes belong to Nunito Sans.
- **No Greek**: Latin, Cyrillic and Vietnamese are covered; Greek is not.
