Em One is a geometric sans serif full of personality

Em One is a compact, clean sans-serif typeface that balances simple aesthetics with a high x-height, minimal contrast, and moderate proportions. Designed as a cornerstone for any project, Em One serves both as functional body text and striking headlines with a subtle and timeless character.

Design Approach:

Em One is the first typeface developed with our colleague Luboslav Boyanov, a National Academy of Art Sofia graduate. Our goal was to create a functional typeface with a broad range of applications—from web and print to branding, editorial, and various design contexts—embodying a classic Swiss typeface's distinctive character and aesthetics while maintaining a straightforward design.

Distinct Features:

Key features include a tall x-height, minimal contrast between strokes, and moderate proportions for better readability. Refined letter spacing enhances the overall look, and distinctive elements in some letters add character without excessive visual noise, making Em One versatile and balanced between functionality and graphic identity.

Font Family Composition:

Em One comes in 9 weights, from Thin to Black, each with a corresponding italic version. It is available in refined OTF, TTF, and web font formats. A variable font format offers greater flexibility for dynamic solutions.

Technical Specifications:

Designed for a large audience, Em One supports over 220 languages, including Extended Latin and Cyrillic. It offers many typographic features, such as ligatures, stylistic sets, contextual alternatives, and OpenType features.   More...

Usage:

Em One is multifunctional and adaptable, with various weights serving as standalone elements or complements in design systems. Thicker and thinner weights are ideal for headlines and display elements, while middleweights are optimized for text blocks. Optimized for screens, Em One performs well in any media, balancing glyphs and negative space for effective print use.

Summary:

Em One is a functional and practical sans-serif typeface influenced by popular and enduring Swiss typefaces from the mid-20th century. Built as a multipurpose font, it excels in both display and functional contexts, remaining recognizable and characterful.

Every typeface has a voice. Some whisper, some shout — and the best ones say exactly what you mean before a single word is read.

Pick a font that fits your idea, set it with care, and let the letters do the talking. From bold headlines to the smallest caption, good type stays clear at every size — clean curves, even spacing, and characters that feel at home together.

A well-made font carries your message across posters, screens, packaging and print without ever getting in the way. That is the quiet craft of typography: structure you feel, but rarely notice. 0123456789 — the details matter.
