## About Plus Jakarta Sans

Plus Jakarta Sans is a geometric sans serif with nearly even stroke thickness, round bowls and pointed joins where curves meet stems. The lowercase is slightly tall, leaving a clear step between x-height and capitals, and counters are kept open so the letters stay legible across sizes. Gumpita Rahayu of Tokotype designed the family, which 6616 Studio commissioned in 2020 for the Jakarta Provincial Government's +Jakarta City of Collaboration programme; as part of that programme the fonts were opened to the public. The family is a variable font with a weight axis from 200 to 800: seven named weights from ExtraLight to ExtraBold, each with an italic, 14 styles in all. Its 1,187 glyphs include alternate characters arranged in three stylistic sets named Lancip (Sharp), Lurus (Straight) and Lingkar (Swirl). The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Product and app interfaces**: Open counters and a slightly tall lowercase keep buttons, menus and form labels clear at small sizes.
- **Brand identities**: Three stylistic sets, Sharp, Straight and Swirl, let a wordmark take a distinct character while staying in the family.
- **Landing pages and marketing sites**: The 200 to 800 weight axis covers light display lines and ExtraBold headings from a single variable file.
- **Presentations and reports**: Seven weights with italics give slides and documents headings, body text and emphasis in one typeface.
- **Civic and public communication**: The family was made for a city government programme and released for public use.

## Things to know

- **Weight range is 200 to 800**: There is no Thin 100 or Black 900. The lightest named weight is ExtraLight and the heaviest is ExtraBold.
- **Stylistic sets change the tone**: Alternates are grouped into Lancip (Sharp), Lurus (Straight) and Lingkar (Swirl). They are switched on through OpenType stylistic set controls.
- **Two variable files**: The package contains one variable font for upright styles and one for italics.
- **No Cyrillic**: There is no Cyrillic subset, and Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian are not among the languages whose letters were verified.
