About Planer Font Family


Inspired by the honesty and skill of handcrafted woodworking, Planer blends tradition with modernity. Drawing from classic rounded typefaces like VAG Rounded, Planer infuses this heritage with contemporary geometry, resulting in a typeface that balances warmth with precision. Its name, a tribute to the craft of planing, reflects the meticulous attention to detail that creates smooth surfaces—mirrored in its rounded corners, echoing the craftsmanship behind its creation.

Version 2.0 of Planer addresses concerns regarding legibility and optical compensation while introducing a new bold weight for impactful headlines. This update reflects a commitment to refining Planer's functionality and versatility, with the addition of 10 alternative characters enhancing small text readability. OpenType features like circled numbers, case-sensitive forms, and arrows further enrich the typographic toolkit.
