03 / Design story

Intent, use, and provenance

Square Bot Sans is a squared technical sans derived from Hubot Sans.

It is built for interface, code-adjacent, branding, and display work that needs compact rhythm, operator shapes, and a hard grid.

The site specimens use the rebuilt SquareBotSans[ital,wdth,wght].woff2 variable font.

The Google Fonts candidate uses width stops 75 / 100 / 125 and split Roman/Italic variable fonts.

The Italic version of Square Bot Sans is in heavy development. Its outlines, spacing, interpolation, and exported files may change in future releases.

Square Bot Sans is licensed under the SIL OFL 1.1 and derived from Hubot Sans.
