Padauk Book, designed by Debbi Hosken of SIL, is a free sans serif with broad proportions and a calm, functional build. Its clean strokes shift subtly in width.
Its open forms echo the clear geometry of maps and informational illustrations, making it useful for museum graphics and educational publishing. That same steady texture suits wayfinding signs and public-service materials. In these settings, the restrained lettering can become part of a diagram's visual labeling system rather than merely captioning the image.
