Sinter is the sharp-elbowed sister of our best-selling Center. To make it, we reversed the usual order of things by starting with a rounded typeface and adding corners. The result is crisper and more assertive, but has the same open counters, forthright curves, and squarish rounds as its sibling. It also incorporates the lessons learned from Center’s years in the wild and, like Center, features nine weights with matching italics, ranging from a waifish Thin to a hulking Ultra, plus tabular figures duplexing across all weights, case-sensitive punctuation, and support for over 130 languages. Its look is less futuristic but more businesslike, and its hard-edged clarity lends firmness and confidence to the page or screen.

Download Quota Font Family From Ryan Williamson
Quota is an investigation into the modularity of the Cyrillic alphabet. Unlike Latin and Greek, the Cyrillic alphabet owes much of its form to its development in early industrious printing and movable type. This lead the Cyrillic alphabet to be dominated by hard edge and straight lines, giving it a much more modular overall construction. The forms within the Cyrillic alphabet therefor allow for all the characters themselves to have somewhat unified side bearings without compromising ease of reading.
Within Quota the default character set has only unified side bearing, giving a more relaxed mono-spaced appearance. While the first stylistic set unifies the entire character set with the same character width, creating a true mono-spaced typeface.
Quota was initially designed in Cyrillic, catering to all languages using the alphabet. While the Latin was designed after, and is loosely based of the forms present within the Cyrillic alphabet.
