Author's note

Xero Hollow by Rob Barba of Megami Studios is a free outlined geometric sans serif with broad, clean letterforms, even strokes, and softly rounded corners. Each stroke is drawn as a hollow shape, and the doubled contour recalls the neat precision of careful technical diagrams. The forms are simple and open.

As a display face, it can turn a logo into a crisp linear emblem or lend an engineered look to technology packaging and event posters. The same measured outlines also suit digital graphics and science-themed publishing, linking those uses through a spare geometry that feels more diagrammatic than ornamental.

Description
Xero is an intentionally loose creation of a humanist font. Played rougher than its counterparts Helvetica and Arial, Xero works well for those who want to go that route but don't want the sharply defined lines of others in the humanist family.
