About the family


Folder is the kind of typeface that doesn’t try to steal the spotlight—it keeps the lights on, the diagrams clear, and the information unmistakable. Originally designed for BBC educational broadcasts, it blends two unlikely influences: the precision of research-driven accessibility fonts and the approachable forms of school primer lettering. That means you get ball-and-stick numerals like the distinctive “9,” open shapes like the tailed “q,” and letterforms that resist confusion, even at a glance.

Its proportions are practical rather than stylized, with generous spacing that holds up on low-resolution screens and under challenging reading conditions. The range from Regular to Bold keeps text clear in captions, interface labels, and instruction manuals, while the lighter weights remain easy on the eyes in dense paragraphs. Four stylistic alternates—subtly different I, J, Q, and 9—let you fine-tune for your audience, whether you’re speaking to early readers, older eyes, or technical professionals.

Visually, Folder has a quiet, retro-tech aura—think control room monitors, green-phosphor displays, and the no-nonsense typography of lab manuals. It’s at home in contexts where communication must be direct and unambiguous: training materials, cockpit displays, museum captions, subtitles, and wayfinding signage. The design trades ornament for certainty, making it the font you can rely on when there’s no room for misinterpretation.

Folder is built to serve, not to show off. In an age of restless design, it stands for the steady hand, the steady voice, and the steady read. If clarity is your mission, Folder will get it there—calmly, accurately, and without a hint of fuss.
