Strait

Strait is a sans-serif font with a single regular weight and normal style. Its clean, uncomplicated structure makes it suitable for text that needs to remain clear without relying on multiple levels of emphasis. With only one available weight, it is best approached as a consistent typeface for focused, readable layouts.

Best suited for: Use Strait for short headings, labels, navigation, captions, and compact blocks of body text. It can also serve well in simple posters, interface panels, forms, and informational pages where a uniform typographic treatment keeps the content organized.

Design considerations: The 400 weight provides a middle-ground tone rather than a full range of light or heavy options. Build hierarchy through size, spacing, alignment, and color instead of depending on bold or italic variants. Longer passages should be tested at the intended size, especially when the design requires strong contrast between headings and supporting text.

Pairing guidance: For contrast, combine Strait with a serif that has a clearly different texture for titles or editorial accents. Alternatively, pair it with a second sans-serif in a noticeably heavier or more distinctive style, using Strait for supporting text. Keep the companion restrained so the single-weight system remains easy to follow.
