Description
Oswald is a modern sans-serif typeface designed by Vernon Adams in 2011. It was inspired by the geometric style of the early 20th century but updated for contemporary use. The font features thick strokes, wide proportions, and a distinctive 'condensed' feel that makes it highly legible even at small sizes. Its versatility has made it popular in various design contexts, from web and app interfaces to editorial design and corporate branding.

Best Use Cases

  • Website and app interfaces
  • Editorial design
  • Corporate branding
  • Advertising
  • Packaging

Usage Instructions

Oswald is best used for headlines, titles, and short body text in designs where a bold, geometric font is appropriate. It works particularly well in digital contexts such as websites, apps, and social media graphics, but can also be effective in print materials like posters, brochures, or branding collateral.
