Doto

Óliver Lalan · 2024 · OFL-1.1 · Variable

Letters built out of dots, the way a dot-matrix printer or a departure board builds them — and then given two axes so the dots can be squares or circles and the whole thing can go from a faint grid to almost solid. The roundness axis is the unusual one: at zero the dots are square and it reads as a screen, at a hundred they are circles and it reads as a printed board. It is a strong effect and a short-lived one, so keep it to a headline or a number.

Use Doto on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Türkçe. The file is doto.woff2, the same one the WOFF2 button above gives you.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Doto';
  /* Take the WOFF2 button above, put doto.woff2 wherever
     you serve static files from, and point this at it. */
  src: url('/fonts/doto.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 100 900;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Doto', sans-serif;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/doto.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Doto', sans-serif;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. Doto also covers Türkçe, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is Doto free for commercial use?
Yes. Doto is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
Can I use Doto in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Doto belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Óliver Lalan. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install Doto?
Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up. Doto is a variable font: the single file carries all 9 weights at once. Some older software — Word, Canva, and Photoshop before 2018 — reads only the one weight the file defaults to, and for Doto that is Black (900), not the regular. If that happens, use the Static download on this page instead: it has 18 ordinary files, one per weight, and works everywhere.
Does Doto support Turkish?
Yes. Doto includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
What languages does Doto support?
Doto covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 320 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
What weights does Doto come in?
Doto comes in 9 weights: Thin (100), Extra Light (200), Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), Semi Bold (600), Bold (700), Extra Bold (800) and Black (900). It is a variable font, so every one of them is in a single file and you can also set any weight in between.
Where can I download Doto as WOFF2?
From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is doto.woff2, and it is about 9 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
