The Inclusive Sans typeface, designed for Penguin, features rounded letters to create an approachable aesthetic, embodying curiosity. It includes four weights and over 530 glyphs, supporting accessibility for over 600 languages. This design aims to include everyone, echoing Penguin's commitment to accessible reading. Olivia emphasizes the chance for type designers to prioritize inclusivity as a core consideration, reflecting the brand's mission. The project aims to make reading more enjoyable and accessible, infusing Penguin's rich typographic history with contemporary relevance.
Type designers have a unique chance to make inclusivity part of the default approach rather than an exception. It's another design consideration - one that can inspire better solutions.
That was at the core of why Penguin wanted to customise Inclusive Sans. The brand was built on the idea of making books accessible to everyone, and that mission still feels relevant today.
The most meaningful part was knowing that this typeface will help make reading more accessible and enjoyable for more people.
This project has been incredibly humbling and rewarding. Even now, it feels surreal to have contributed to a brand with such an important typographic and literary history.
