OMBRU — Bold Futuristic Display Font

About the product

OMBRU is a futuristic, rounded display font drawn as a single unicase alphabet. Every terminal closes on a half-circle and every joint flows into the next curve. The proportions are wide and heavy, turning a single word into a block of solid form. The language bridges soft retro-futuristic tech lettering and Y2K plastic, and it holds at any size a logo needs.

Features:

  • Files included: OTF, TTF, WOFF and WOFF2;
  • unicase design — uppercase and lowercase are the same letters;
  • 181 characters: letters, numerals, punctuation, symbols and currency;
  • 60 accented characters covering 16 Western European languages;
  • currency signs: $ ¢ £ ¥ € ₽;
  • symbols: © ® ™ №;
  • 20,768 hand-checked kerning pairs.

One case, one alphabet

Unicase here is literal. Capitals and lowercase are the same letters, with the same widths and height. The shift key changes nothing on screen. A name typed as "Ombru", "OMBRU" or "ombru" sets identically, which removes the usual argument about case in a wordmark. Size, color, and spacing become the only levers for hierarchy, and a mixed-case caption pasted from a brief comes out as one even line, not a ragged one.

Built wide on purpose

The letters are broad; the spread between the narrowest and the widest is extreme. A five-letter logotype takes the horizontal space a seven-letter word usually needs. The O is a wide ellipse, not a circle, and the flat-sided letters stretch to match it. The rhythm holds even across a word. Stems measure 190 units against a cap height of 700, and the weight remains in display territory at every size.

20,768 kerning pairs

The kerning table is flat, not class-based: 20,768 individual pairs, 63 percent of every combination the character set allows, each one a separate decision. A geometry this round needs that, because a bowl next to a diagonal and a bowl next to a flat stem open completely different gaps.

FAQ

Typing in lowercase and typing in capitals produce the same letterforms at the same widths — all 26 pairs share one drawing, and cap height and x-height are both 700 units. Nothing is lost if a client sends copy in sentence case; it sets as an even all-caps line on its own.

Not from the case itself: build hierarchy with size, color, tracking, or a second typeface. Pairing OMBRU headlines with a neutral sans for body copy is the usual route, since the font is designed for display sizes, not paragraphs.

The kerning is built in, 20,768 pairs. A line set with zero tracking is already balanced. Tighten with negative tracking when a lockup needs to lose width, down to roughly minus 60. The median gap between letters measures 68 units. Avoid stretching the glyphs horizontally. The curve radii are fixed, and stretching flattens them.

Letters and numerals sit entirely between the baseline and 711 units, with no ascenders or descenders apart from the tail on Q. Lines can be set far tighter than the font's default metrics suggest. Accented capitals reach 1053 units. Leave headroom on any line with an Å, Ä or Ô.

English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Irish, Catalan, Basque, Galician, Afrikaans and Luxembourgish, with 60 accented characters. The ruble sign is included as a currency symbol, but the set has no Cyrillic letters, no eszett, and no Central European diacritics.

One weight in four formats: OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2. OTF and TTF cover design software and desktop installs, and the WOFF2 is 22 KB for web embedding. Apply color and effects instead of a faux-bold button, which distorts the curves.
