Nata Sans is a grotesque typeface with a subtle humanist structure.
Originally designed for user interfaces, it features a generous x-height that gives it a slightly display feel. Its wide glyphs promote relaxed, slow, and clear reading — ideal for interfaces, editorial design, or signage.
With short ascenders and descenders, Nata Sans offers a compact yet balanced texture on the page. The distinctive curvature of letters like “o” and “a” forms the core of its visual identity.
This release marks the completion of version 2.0, fully prepared for inclusion in the Google Fonts library.
