Quicksand Font

About the font

The Quicksand font is a display sans-serif typeface. It has rounded terminals designed by Dubai-based graphic designer Andrew Paglinawan. He specializes in branding and graphic design. The project was started by Andrew Paglinawan in 2008, releasing the font on October 12, 2008. 

He used geometric shapes inspired by the 1920s and 30s eras as a core element. 

Later, as part of Andrew’s 2016 collaborative effort, a thorough revision by Thomas Jockin improved the quality. Mirko Velimirovic created a variable font family in 2019.

This display sans serif with rounded terminals has 187-188 characters. It is easy to read in small print too. However, the glyphs range from 102–to 104; depending on the style, the extent could be 199 with 1000 units per EM. However, this font has no fixed pitch. 

The Quicksand font has three weights, obliques, and dashes for display and headings. The font family is available in three styles as well, which are Light, Regular, and Bold, with true italics for each weight. The Quicksand license falls under the SIL Open Font License (OFL).

There are 2 versions of the Quicksand font available. Version 1 was first publicly released on 10-12-2008. On October 21, 2013, the designer released version 2.0. In this version, he had redrawn the font from the surface with a high height and readability of 500 to 515. 

Additionally, the kerning and spacing were improved, along with the addition of true italics to each weight, unicase, and language support for Western, Central, and South-Eastern European and Afrikaans. 

Usage

This typeface is utilized to a large extent in various display designs, including website headers, headings, annual reports, official documentation, magazines, and many other applications. It is simple to understand and can be adapted to meet the requirements of any situation. 

The typeface is offered in various styles and weights to provide you with the option that best meets your requirements.
