## About Red Hat Display and Red Hat Text

How our words look is as important to our brand voice as the words we choose.
That’s why we developed a type family that’s all our own.
Red Hat is an enterprise software company with an open source development model. We use collaboration and knowledge sharing to craft better, more reliable, and more adaptable technologies. How our words look is as important to our brand voice as the words we choose. That’s why we developed a type family that’s all our own.

Red Hat is an enterprise software company with an open source development model. We use collaboration and knowledge sharing to craft better, more reliable, and more adaptable technologies.
The Red Hat type family is produced in 2 optical sizes, in a range of weights with italics. The fonts were originally commissioned by Paula Scher / Pentagram and designed by Jeremy Mickel / MCKL for the new Red Hat identity.

Red Hat Display is made for headlines and big statements. It’s an embodiment of
our brand’s personality—open, straightforward, rational—but friendly and
approachable, too.

Red Hat Display comes in four weights, each with italics.

Because we’re Red Hat, we aren’t keeping our work to ourselves. Like Liberation
and Overpass, Red Hat Display is an open source font under the SIL license, and
is available for anyone to use.

Red Hat Text takes all that personality and optimizes it for more demanding
applications. It’s more condensed and has more space around each letter, so that
it’s easy to read in paragraphs, like a whitepaper, or at small sizes, like a tooltip in
an interface.

Red Hat Text comes in three weights, each with italics.

Red Hat Text is also an open source font under the SIL license, and is available for
anyone to use.
Red Hat is a fresh take on the geometric sans genre, taking inspiration from a range of American sans serifs including Tempo and Highway Gothic. The Display styles, made for headlines and big statements, are low contrast and spaced tightly, with a large x-height and open counters. The Text styles have a slightly smaller x-height and narrower width for better legibility, are spaced more generously, and have thinned joins for better performance at small sizes. The two families can be used together seamlessly at a range of sizes.

As part of Red Hat’s commitment to open source software, the fonts are made available for use under the SIL Open Font License.
