Description
Designed by Impallari and Sudiño, Urbanist is a versatile sans-serif font family inspired by the grid structures of modern cities. Its geometric design elements, such as straight lines and circular shapes, give it a clean, minimalistic look, while its friendly character sets it apart from other geometric fonts. The font features five weights (Thin, Extra Light, Regular, Semi Bold, and Black), ensuring it can adapt to various design contexts. Urbanist's distinctive features include rounded corners, open counters, and a subtle x-height that makes it legible in both large and small sizes.

Best Use Cases

  • Website and app interfaces
  • Editorial design
  • Corporate branding
  • Signage and wayfinding

Usage Instructions

Urbanist can be used effectively for web and app user interfaces, editorial designs like magazines and newspapers, and corporate branding materials such as logos and marketing collateral. To maximize its legibility, use Urbanist in sizes that are easily readable on screens and in print. For a modern and friendly feel, combine Urbanist with other sans-serif fonts or contrast it with serif fonts for a balanced design.
