About Questrial

Questrial is a sans serif typeface with one Regular weight, drawn around curves that come close to full circles. In the specimen the o, c, e and the one-storey a share the same round bowl, strokes keep an almost even thickness, and the capital Q carries a tail that sweeps under the letter. The official notes describe a design influenced by Swiss grotesque type and intended for both headlines and body text on websites. Numerals are tabular, so every digit takes the same width and figures line up in columns. The font file holds 1,338 glyphs and covers Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets; the official notes also mention African Latin coverage. Joe Prince and Laura Meseguer are credited as designers, and Questrial is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. There is no italic or bold.

Where Questrial works

Website headings and intros

Round bowls and even strokes give headings a plain, open look; the official notes name web headlines and body copy as the intended use.

Forms and price tables

Tabular numerals give every digit the same width, so amounts and quantities align in table columns and form fields.

Short interface text

One Regular weight is enough for labels, navigation and captions where no bold emphasis is needed.

Vietnamese and Central European pages

The 1,338 glyphs include Vietnamese and Latin Extended letters, so one file covers pages in languages such as Vietnamese, Polish, Czech and Turkish.

Things to know

One weight only

Questrial has Regular 400 and nothing else. A browser asked for bold or italic will synthesise it, and the result is not a drawn style.

Numerals are tabular

The official notes state that the figures are tabular, meaning each digit occupies the same width.

Static TrueType file

The download is one static file, Questrial-Regular.ttf. Questrial is not a variable font.
