## About Sen

Sen is a sans serif built from geometric shapes and softened with humanist details; its publisher, Philatype, describes it as a Geohumanist sans and as its first typeface under the SIL Open Font License. In the specimen the O is close to a circle, the lowercase a is the one-storey form made of a bowl and a stem, and the capital J drops below the baseline. Capitals are wide, with pointed apexes on A, V and W. According to the official notes the family was updated in June 2023 as a variable font. Its weight axis runs from 400 to 800, with named weights Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold and ExtraBold; there are no italics and nothing lighter than Regular. The font holds 363 glyphs for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets. Kosal Sen is credited as designer.

## Where it works

- **Clean interface text**: Round, open letters and a weight range that starts at Regular suit labels, cards and settings screens.
- **Landing page headings**: Bold and ExtraBold turn the near-round O and one-storey a into large, simple headline shapes.
- **Minimal brand identities**: The plain geometric outlines give a wordmark a neutral, friendly tone without added ornament.
- **Short paragraphs and captions**: Regular and Medium carry product descriptions and captions; emphasis comes from weight, since there is no italic.
- **Presentations**: Five weights between 400 and 800 are enough to set titles, subtitles and bullet text in one family.

## Things to know

- **No italics**: Sen has upright styles only. A browser asked for italic will slant the roman artificially.
- **Starts at Regular**: The weight axis runs from 400 to 800, so the family has no Light or Thin.
- **One variable file**: The package contains a single variable TTF that holds all five named weights.
