Author's note

Oski East by Chris Harvey is a free sans-serif font with a clean, pared-back rhythm and a slightly quirky contrast between its rounded and angular letters. The broad circular O and compact, curling s set up a simple, modern tone, while the sharp k and plain upright forms keep it feeling direct rather than slick.

This free font makes sense for interface labels, cultural posters, educational materials, title bars, and short editorial headings where you want a contemporary voice with a human edge. It also suits logos and wayfinding-style graphics, because the mix of open round shapes and brisk diagonals gives brief words a clear, steady presence.
