About Scope One

Scope One is a slab serif typeface drawn with thin, even strokes and flat, rectangular serifs. In the specimen the lowercase stands tall against the capitals, a proportion the foundry says can stand in for small caps in a title line. Curves are open and round, the numerals share the weight of the letters, and stroke contrast stays low throughout. Dalton Maag designed the face as an original commission from Google Fonts for slide presentations, tuned it for titling, and recommends setting it at 14 points or larger. The family has one Regular style, with no bold or italic, and is not a variable font. Its 533 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended character sets, which include the letters for languages such as German, Turkish, Polish and Romanian. The files are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Scope One works

Presentation slides
Scope One was commissioned for slide decks; its light strokes and tall lowercase hold up as slide titles and pulled-out statements.
Section titles in reports
At 14 points and above, the size the foundry recommends, the thin slab serifs stay clear in headings and chapter openers.
Pull quotes
A short quotation set large shows the flat serifs and open curves that small text would hide.
Lowercase title lines
Because the lowercase is nearly as tall as the capitals, an all-lowercase title forms an even band similar to small caps.
