The Red Hat typeface is a superfamily of Display, Text, and Mono styles, each available in a full range of weights with both roman and italic variants. Originally commissioned by Paula Scher and designed by Jeremy Mickel / MCKL, the fonts were created as part of Red Hat’s identity redesign.

A fresh take on the geometric sans genre, Red Hat draws inspiration from classic American sans serifs like Tempo and Highway Gothic.
