About Share

Share is a sans serif family with narrow letters and curves that flatten into straight vertical sides, so rounds such as o, c and e read as soft rectangles. The specimen also shows diagonally cut stroke ends on letters like a, t and y, an ampersand built from a squared E-like shape, and compact numerals with squared bowls. The family has four styles: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. Each font holds 256 glyphs limited to the Latin subset, which includes the letters for English and for Western European languages such as French, German, Spanish and the Nordic languages. Two sibling families exist alongside it: Share Tech and Share Tech Mono. The fonts are credited to Carrois Apostrophe; the name table gives Ralph du Carrois as designer, and the copyright notice names Carrois Type Design. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Share works

Dashboards and device screens

Narrow, squared letters fit readouts and labels into small panels and give them a technical look.

Headings on technology sites

Bold and Bold Italic turn the angular shapes into compact titles and navigation items.

Spec sheets and tables

The narrow width keeps column headings and parameter names short.

Text beside code

Share Tech Mono is a related family, so prose in Share can sit next to code samples drawn in the same spirit.

Things to know

Latin subset only

Each style has 256 glyphs and is limited to the basic Latin subset.

Regular and Bold

There are no light, medium or black weights, and Share is not a variable font.

Reserved name

The license notice lists Share as a Reserved Font Name, so a modified version needs another name.
