Designed by Vernon Adams
Francois One is a reworking of many traditional sans serif gothic display typeface forms. These letterforms have been reshaped for use on the web, such as opening up the counters a little and optimizing the stems for use in bold display typography. Slanted stem terminals have been added to give a hint of playfulness to the design.
Vernon practiced typeface design from 2007 to 2014. A lifelong artist, during this time he eagerly explored designing type for the cloud-based era. His work spans all genres, from lively script faces to workhorse text families and operating system UI. Vernon graduated with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading and lives in California. His designs are mostly published as open source Google Fonts and his favorite projects include Oxygen Mono, Monda, and Bowlby One. Follow his story at www.sansoxygen.com.
