Reddit Sans is built for the Internet, with clear, understandable letterforms that still maintain some of the warm eclectic nature of online discourse. It’s designed to be incredibly versatile with a large x-height for readability, and disambiguated letterforms for rapid identification.
Reddit Sans is available in 5 weights with true italics. Reddit Sans letterforms were chosen for legibility and distinctiveness, pairing humanist characteristics with a geometric base. Humanist sans-serif typefaces have roots in hand drawn lettering, giving them warmth and personality, while geometric typefaces focus on practicality and simplicity, making them ideal for information delivery. The slash, such a key part of the internet's syntax, is foundational to the design of Reddit Sans. In Reddit Sans, the slash's 67.5º angle is repeated throughout the letterforms, giving them a distinct, contemporary appearance.
