Description

Voltaire is a low-contrast condensed semi-geometric style sans-serif. Voltaire is highly readable and will work from medium text sizes all the way up to larger display settings. Voltaire was inspired by 20th century Swedish posters whose letters have similar forms. Latest upgrade from January 2023 expands the Latin script language coverage and kerning added.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
