About
Oswald is a sans serif font family that revisits the classic Alternate Gothic style, redesigned to align well with pixel grids on digital displays. It features a variable weight axis ranging from 200 to 700 and supports multiple Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The family has been refined over time to improve spacing, kerning, and glyph design, making it suitable for web and mobile use.
Overview
Oswald is a reworking of the classic style historically represented by the 'Alternate Gothic' sans serif typefaces. The characters were redrawn to better fit the pixel grid of digital screens. Since its initial launch in 2011, Oswald has been updated with additional weights, expanded language support, and a variable font weight axis. The family supports Latin, Cyrillic, and Vietnamese scripts and includes weights from 200 to 700 in a normal style. It is designed for versatile use across web browsers on desktop and mobile devices.
