Ocalie
Lift Type · Sandrine Nugue · 2026
A proportional sans evolved from the monospaced Hublot, designed by Sandrine Nugue and issued in 21 cuts across three subfamilies including a display and a mono variant.
About
Developed from Hublot, a monospaced typeface originally created for the art centre La Fenêtre, Ocalie drops the fixed-width constraint in favour of proportional spacing while preserving the geometric backbone. The family spans five weights from Thin to Bold with italics across both the text and mono subfamilies, plus a single expressive Display cut. At 420 glyphs and with coverage across roughly 50 Latin-script languages, it sits comfortably in editorial, identity and interface work.
Classification
Ocalie is a proportional sans-serif evolved from Hublot, a monospaced predecessor, retaining geometric rigour while introducing organic movement; its clean, mechanical letterforms with subtle sensitivity place it firmly in geometric sans territory.
