About Prosto One

Prosto One is a display sans serif with broad, flattened letters. The official notes say two designers in Russia made it over six months: Pavel Emelyanov, who started the project and was its chief designer, and Jovanny Lemonad (the working name of Ivan Gladkikh), his mentor, who handled the technical finishing. Their aim was a modern grotesque for logos and presentations. In the specimen round letters are wider than they are tall, strokes thin where curves join stems, the lowercase is large against the capitals, the K and k join their arms in a curve, and the y is built on a u shape with a tail. The family has one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 404 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Cyrillic. Prosto One is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, with Prosto and Prosto One as Reserved Font Names.

Where Prosto One works

Logos and wordmarks

The designers name logos as a target use, and the wide, low letters make a short name stretch into a stable band.

Presentation titles

Slides were the other stated purpose; broad letters with large lowercase stay clear on a projected title.

Cyrillic and Latin headings

One style covers both scripts, so Russian and English titles match.

Navigation and banner text

A few wide words fill a horizontal bar without needing a bold weight.

Things to know

Wide letters use up line length

Round letters are broader than tall, so long headlines run to more lines.

Regular only

The family has no italic or bold.

Two reserved names

The license notice reserves both Prosto and Prosto One, which matters for anyone publishing a modified version.
