Using Odra Sans in your projects

How to add Odra Sans to a website or design tool, and what the SIL Open Font License lets you do.

Using Odra Sans in your projects

Odra Sans is free for personal and commercial work. This guide covers where to get the files, how to put them on a website, and what the license asks of you.

Get the files

Download the version 1.201 release from GitHub. Inside are three folders:

  • fonts/variable holds the variable TTF files for desktop apps and design tools.
  • fonts/ttf holds one static TTF per style, 14 in all.
  • fonts/webfonts holds the WOFF2 files for the web.

On the web

Upload the two variable WOFF2 files, one upright and one italic, to your site. Then add two font-face rules to your stylesheet that share the family name "Odra Sans". Give each one a weight range of 300 to 900, set the style to normal for the upright file and italic for the italic file, and use swap for font display so text shows right away while the font loads.

After that, set Odra Sans as your body font, with a system sans-serif as the fallback. Headings and emphasis can use any weight in the range. For number columns, turn on tabular numerals. The exact rules are in the project's README.

Google Fonts

A Google Fonts listing is coming soon. Until then, host the files yourself as described above.

The license, in plain English

Odra Sans uses the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. Here's a summary. The license text itself is what counts.

  • You can use, study, copy, merge, embed, modify and redistribute the fonts, free of charge.
  • You can bundle the fonts with software, including software you sell, as long as each copy includes the copyright notice and the license.
  • You can't sell the fonts by themselves, whether original or modified.
  • Modified versions must stay under the same license, and the names of the copyright holders or authors can't be used to promote them without permission.
  • Documents you make with the fonts, like websites, logos, print work and PDFs, aren't covered by these requirements. They're yours.
Use it anywhere. Just don't sell the font files on their own.

Odra Sans is itself a Modified Version of Figtree, Copyright 2022 The Figtree Project Authors, released under the same license. Figtree has no Reserved Font Name.

The fonts are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind.
