Scope One - Google Fonts

About

Scope One is a light slab serif typeface with elegant expressions that make it broadly useful for many different contexts. The design is optimized for titling and display usage and is ideally used at 14 points and above. The tall vertical proportions of the lowercase mean that it can be used in a way similar to small caps, giving a more refined typographic impression.

It supports a broad range of languages using the Latin writing system. The font has been enhanced for good on-screen display quality, and has been tested extensively in a variety of on-screen and print environments.

Scope One is a Dalton Maag original design commissioned by Google Fonts for use in presentation slide decks. A foundry specimen is maintained at daltonmaag.github.io/scope-one

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
