What You Can Type With Carson

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Carson is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. Thanks to its accented letters, it also works for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian, not just English. On top of that, it includes Cyrillic characters.

Where Carson Works Best

Carson is a natural fit for websites, app screens and clean logos. Its lowercase letters are small compared to the capitals, so set it a size or two bigger than usual. It works for headings and body text alike. If the download has several weights, use a heavier one for titles and a lighter one for paragraphs.
