Oswald is a free software sans-serif typeface for Cyrillic and Latin scripts. It was created by Vernon Adams and published in 2011 under the terms of the SIL Open Font License (OFL).
The design is very condensed with variable weight and shows a geometric influence. Oswald is considered mainly suitable for display use.[1] It is modelled on early sans-serif typefaces from the turn of the 20th century, such as Benton's Alternate Gothic (a condensed version of Franklin Gothic). It is recommended as a free replacement for the Impact typeface that was popularized by Microsoft.[2]
It is one of the most popular typefaces on the Google Fonts platform.[3] Prominent users, past or present, include the QuikTrip Corporation, the L'Obs website, and the Save the Children Fund.[4][5]
