Experimo™: The Experimental Typeface of Many Moods

Experimo™ is an unconventional display sans serif font family that celebrates the juxtaposed contrast between round and rectangular shapes. We believe that this bold approach to design is what makes a font truly memorable.

A Versatile Typeface Praised by a Design Legend

Experimo™ is more than just a quirky typeface. It was recently featured as "Font of the Month" by the legendary Steven Heller, who concluded that "Experimo was by far the most eccentric of the fonts available." He praised the font's unique ability to switch between "different moods and expressions while remaining within the same close-knit type family," and he specifically noted its unique features:

  • A slew of alternative numbers and letters in caps and lower case.

  • A unique X that was unlike any other he had seen.

  • Sculptural variations for the E (upper and lower case) and the O, which resembles a covered U.

Experimo™ is a powerful toolkit for your creative projects. It is available in 6 weights and 12 styles, with over 1,325 glyphs each, and supports most Latin-based and Cyrillic-based languages.

Technical features overview of the Experimo font: 6 weights, 1,325+ glyphs per style, 100+ essential UX/UI icons, 200+ language support, and OpenType case-sensitive punctuations.
