About Quantico

Quantico is a sans serif family with no curves at all. Every bowl is a rectangle whose corners are cut off at 30 degrees, so O, D, C and the numerals become elongated octagons, and letters such as a, e and s are built from straight segments with small diagonal notches. Matt Desmond, who publishes as MADType, drew it with old beer packaging and military lettering in mind. The lowercase is tall and the strokes are even, which keeps the hard shapes readable in short passages. Four static styles are available: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. The fonts hold 261 glyphs in the latin subset, covering English and Western European languages such as French, German, Spanish and Swedish. Quantico was added to Google Fonts in 2011 and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Quantico works

Game and esports titles

Chamfered corners and straight strokes give names and scoreboards a hard, mechanical tone.

Beer labels and packaging

Old beer packaging was one of the two sources for the design.

Military and tactical themes

The other source was military lettering, which the stencil-like angles recall.

Tech product names and headings

Bold 700 turns a short product name into a compact block of angled shapes.

Captions inside the same layout

Regular and Italic allow a line or two of supporting text without leaving the family.
