About Stack Sans Text

Stack Sans Text is a sans serif family with strokes of nearly even thickness and round, open bowls. The specimen shows a double-storey a, a single-storey g, a capital Q whose tail drops straight down through the bottom of the letter, and an ampersand of unusual construction that resembles a figure eight with a bar. Stack Sans Text is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 200 to 700, and six named instances from ExtraLight to Bold. There are no italics. Each file holds 520 glyphs covering Latin and Latin Extended. Compared with the specimen of its sibling Stack Sans Headline, the alphabet of the Text cut runs wider at the same size. The family is credited to Koto; the name table lists Koto and Dylan Young. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Stack Sans Text works

Interface labels and forms
Even strokes and open shapes keep short labels clear, and the 200 to 700 axis supplies lighter and heavier steps for hierarchy.
Paragraphs on product pages
The Text cut is spaced more openly than Stack Sans Headline, which is the member of the pair meant for larger settings.
Brand systems with a headline partner
Stack Sans Text and Stack Sans Headline share the same six weights, so the two can be matched weight for weight.
Documentation in European languages
Latin Extended coverage includes the letters needed for Polish, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian as well as Western European languages.

Stack Sans Headline Sans Serif

Stack Sans Headline is the sibling cut with the same six weights from ExtraLight to Bold, drawn tighter for titles above Stack Sans Text.
