Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a font minimal?
Minimal fonts reduce letterforms to essential elements—no decorative flourishes, no unnecessary contrast, no historical references. They're characterized by geometric construction, consistent stroke weights, and a willingness to be invisible. Good minimal fonts serve content without demanding attention.
Is minimal the same as boring?
No. Minimal fonts require enormous design skill—every decision is visible when there's nothing to hide behind. The best minimal fonts have subtle personality that emerges through careful use, not despite simplicity. They're confident enough not to shout.
