SUSE is a variable font: the download holds the whole weight range in one file per style, and the named weights above are positions on that range.

About SUSE

SUSE is a sans serif family with open, round letterforms and strokes of even thickness. In the specimen the capitals are wide and plain, the lowercase g is a single-storey form with a hooked tail, and the tail of the Q cuts across the bowl. Stroke ends are cut cleanly and the figures stand at capital height. The family is built as a variable font with one axis, weight, from 100 to 900; nine named weights from Thin to Black come in upright and italic, which makes 18 styles. Each file holds 629 glyphs covering the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets. René Bieder is credited as designer, the name table lists SUSE as manufacturer, and the copyright notice names The SUSE Project Authors. The fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where SUSE works

Product interfaces

Even strokes and open shapes keep menus, buttons and form labels clear, and the weight axis allows fine steps between Regular and Medium.

Technical documentation

Upright and italic in the same nine weights cover body text, emphasis, notes and headings in manuals and help pages.

Brand and corporate material

One family from Thin 100 to Black 900 can carry a headline, a subhead and the small print of a brochure or slide.

Large display lines

Thin and ExtraLight show the round construction at poster sizes, while ExtraBold and Black give dense, compact titles.

Vietnamese and Central European text

The 629 glyphs include Vietnamese and Latin Extended letters, so localised pages keep the same typeface.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Use SUSE on the web

Download the family and host the files on your own site, then declare them in CSS. Please do not link to the files on trendhub.net: preview files here are subsets and their addresses change.

Things to know

Two variable files

The package has one variable file for upright and one for italic. Each carries the full 100 to 900 weight range.

The axis default is Thin

The weight axis defaults to 100, so set the weight explicitly; software that falls back to the default shows the thinnest cut.

No static files in the package

Only the variable fonts are included here. Static instances of the individual weights are available from the official source.

Latin script only

Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese are covered. There is no Cyrillic or Greek.
