Author's note

Often by Joao Franco is a free light geometric sans serif with slim, near-even strokes and softly rounded curves. Its tall letters have an airy, economical build, with clean horizontal cuts and a restrained technical quality.

Simple line illustrations echo the lettering's uniform stroke, making it useful for technology branding and minimalist packaging. It also suits editorial covers and digital graphics. In interface-themed artwork, the letters can become part of a diagram or device display rather than serving only as a caption.
