28W

28W is a popular font, created by Thomas Phinney and released in 2004. It was designed for the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The font is described as having a formal appearance and a contemporary feel. It was created for use in long segments of text, including in books, magazines, and client documents.

The name '28W' is an abbreviation, with '28' referring to the font's width and the 'W' representing the font's width. The font was deemed suitable for body text due to its clear, readable design. A sans-serif font, it features a modern and clean style. A monospaced or fixed-width font, the characters have an even width to facilitate accurate line spacing.

In 2009, a set of extensions for the Latin character set was released. Extensive documentation for the font has also been made available. The design goals of the font included generating clear and readable English and Spanish text with the greatest font size achievable in 24-point fixed-width fonts.

The 28W font may be used by organizations without paying license fees, as long as it is used under the terms of the SIL Open Font License. Standard commercial use, however, is not covered under this license and therefore requires licensing agreements be established. Overall, 28W is a widely used, accessible font for a variety of purposes, due to its reliability and workmanlike design.
