Teko

Teko is a sans-serif font with a tall, compact appearance suited to text that needs to stand out without decorative detail. Its single normal style and broad weight range make it adaptable across display-oriented work, from concise labels to larger titles. The variable format can support gradual weight adjustment where the design workflow allows it.

Best suited for: Use Teko for headlines, posters, event graphics, navigation labels, banners, and short interface headings. Its condensed proportions can help fit prominent wording into limited horizontal space, while the heavier weights can give short phrases a stronger visual presence. For longer passages, test the spacing and reading comfort at the intended size.

Design considerations: The 300 and 400 weights offer a lighter, more restrained starting point for headings, while 500 through 700 provide increasing emphasis for titles and display text. Because the family is available as a variable font, you may be able to fine-tune weight between preset values. Keep sizes, spacing, and contrast under review when using heavier settings.

Pairing guidance: Balance Teko’s narrow sans-serif structure with a more open companion. A neutral sans-serif with wider proportions can handle supporting text, captions, or interface details, while a readable serif may add contrast in editorial layouts. Choose partners with calm shapes and moderate spacing so Teko remains the clear focal point.
