About Share Tech

Share Tech is a sans serif drawn from the Share family, with a fixed-width counterpart published as Share Tech Mono. Its letters are tall and narrow, and the curves are flattened: o, c and e have straight vertical sides joined by rounded corners, and the capitals follow the same compact pattern. Strokes keep an even thickness, the lowercase is tall against the capitals, and the zero is plain, without the inner mark of the monospaced version. The family has one Regular style; there is no bold, no italic and no variable version. The font contains 256 glyphs in the Latin character set. Google Fonts credits Carrois Apostrophe, the name table names Ralph du Carrois and Carrois Type Design, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1 with Share as a reserved font name. It was added to Google Fonts in 2012.

Where Share Tech works

Technology headings
Squared curves and narrow letters give titles on software, hardware and engineering pages a technical tone.
Compact labels
The narrow set fits category tags, badges and chart labels into small spaces.
Game and dashboard graphics
Even strokes and flat-sided bowls stay crisp in score panels, status bars and overlays.
Subheadings beside monospaced text
Because Share Tech Mono shares the design, proportional headings and fixed-width data look related on the same page.
Short captions
A line or two of caption text holds together thanks to the tall lowercase; longer copy lacks an italic and a bold.
