About Oxanium

Oxanium is a display family built on squared shapes. In the specimen the bowls of O, D and a are boxes with one or more corners sliced off at an angle, the strokes are even, and the lowercase n and m have flat tops. The numerals follow the same construction, which gives rows of figures a uniform, instrument-like look. Severin Meyer designed the family; the official notes picture it on a spaceship's head-up display or a video game scoreboard, and say the simple strokes keep it legible at small sizes while the cut corners show in large headlines. Oxanium is a variable font with a weight axis from 200 to 800 and seven named weights, ExtraLight to ExtraBold. It has no italic. The file contains 375 glyphs with Latin and Latin Extended subsets. Oxanium was added to Google Fonts in 2020.

Bold and ExtraBold give overlays and lower thirds a hard-edged technical look.
