NotCourierSans Bold from OSP is a free rounded geometric sans serif built from broad, nearly even strokes, generous circular forms, and open proportions. The lettering feels sturdy, friendly, and deliberately plain.
Packaging is an especially convincing setting for these clean shapes, which can give snack labels, casual food brands, toy boxes, and playful product lines a direct, recognizable voice. The same friendly geometry also suits children's publishing, event posters, and digital graphics for schools, museums, or family entertainment with an informal identity, as the large round forms can echo simple illustrations, icons, and repeating patterns instead of behaving like anonymous text.
NotCourier was designed by OSP (Ludivine Loiseau), in July 2008. It is based on Nimbus Mono, copyright (URW)++,Copyright 1999 by (URW)++ Design & Development; Cyrillic glyphs added by Valek Filippov (C) 2001-2005
