A metrically Calibri-compatible humanist sans with broad multilingual script support.
About
Carlito was developed as a drop-in metric substitute for Microsoft's Calibri, making it particularly useful in open-source office environments and document workflows where layout compatibility is essential. Its humanist proportions and clean rendering ensure reliable legibility in body text at screen sizes, and its Cyrillic and Greek coverage extends its usefulness across multilingual projects. It is a pragmatic rather than inspired choice, but it fulfils its function effectively.
Classification
