Full license guide →Sora is a geometric sans-serif designed by Jonathan Barnbrook, commissioned for the Sora decentralized network. Its precise letterforms and monospace-influenced spacing give it a technical, engineered character suited to crypto and developer-facing products.
Best Use Cases
Sora fits well in:
- Web3 and crypto: Token dashboards, protocol documentation
- Developer tools: Technical interfaces, CLI documentation
- Tech startups: Brand identity, marketing materials
- Data visualization: Charts, dashboards, analytics platforms
Usage Tips
Sora's variable weight range (100-800) covers most typographic needs. The slightly wider spacing makes it comfortable for code-adjacent contexts. Use 400 for body and 600-700 for headings. No italics — use weight variation or a different emphasis strategy.
