Author's note

Linux Biolinum Outline by Philipp H. Poll is a free outlined display font with the calm proportions and gently varied widths of a humanist sans serif. Tall letters mix rounded curves, crisp joins, and hollow strokes.

Cultural groups and independent publishers can use it for exhibition posters, book covers, and event programs. The open drawing also suits arts branding and museum merchandise with a civic-minded edge. Its measured, architectural look appeals most to audiences drawn to modernist typography.
