Flow Circular
About the font
Every letter of this font is drawn as the same block. It stands in for text in mockups and wireframes, so the previews show blocks, not words.
Flow Circular is a free font by Dan Ross, released under the OFL-1.1 license. Of the 1069 languages we checked, 619 have every letter of their basic alphabet in this font. The x-height is 32% of the em and the capital height is 64%.
Flow Circular is a display font supporting Latin, Cyrillic and Kazakh scripts. It has 801 glyphs and a single style at weight 400, and it is not a variable font. Designed by Dan Ross, it is intended for abstracting content and code in design mockups, wireframes, presentations and websites, and it deliberately includes sub-pixel artifacts and overlaps. The font is free to use under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
