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.
