Poppins
Poppins is built on circles, and it commits: the ampersand is drawn as a geometric construction rather than the usual handwritten knot, and almost every curve in it is a section of a circle. The part worth knowing is the Devanagari, which in 2015 was the first in that script to arrive with a full range of weights in the geometric genre, and which is fitted to the Latin by measurement rather than by eye — the Devanagari characters and the Latin ascenders finish on the same line, which leaves the Latin capitals sitting lower than the Devanagari. That, plus a very high x-height, is why it looks larger than its point size and needs more line spacing than you expect.

Questions
- Is Poppins free for commercial use?
- Yes. Poppins 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 Poppins in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Poppins belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Jonny Pinhorn, Ninad Kale. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Poppins?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 18 font files 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.
- Does Poppins support Turkish?
- Yes. Poppins includes the characters Turkish 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.
- Does Poppins support Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Devanagari?
- Yes. Poppins covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Devanagari, across 1,060 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
