What it does
NaN designs retail typefaces and custom commissions, from wide-ranging Gothic families to expressive display fonts. Commercial pricing uses company size and country, while Unbounded is available as a free open font.
NaN Gothic separates Big display designs from UI variants, with widths and styles that include backslants and a monospaced option. The free Unbounded family offers another route: it supports Latin and Cyrillic and comes as static fonts and a variable font.
For paid families, enter the end client’s organization and country when ordering. Pricing counts the organization’s employees and relevant contractors, rather than just people installing the fonts. Basic coverage includes print, one website domain and social media; Extended adds logos, embedding and merchandise. Licences are perpetual, with an upgrade required when the company exceeds its tier by more than 20%.
Free trial files have a limited character set. Signup also adds you to NaN’s mailing list, and trial webfonts can only be tested locally. Full-featured pitch licences are a separate paid option.
