Outfit is a geometric sans-serif typeface that’s become one of the most widely used fonts in modern web and product design. Rodrigo Fuenzalida, a type designer based in Santiago, Chile, created it in 2021 as the official typeface for the brand-automation company Outfit.io. The font takes its ligature-rich letterforms directly from the Outfit wordmark itself. Google Fonts added it shortly after release, and it’s since become a go-to choice for SaaS products, startup branding, and UI design, largely thanks to its clean geometric structure and genuinely useful variable weight range.
What sets Outfit apart from older geometric sans staples like Futura or Century Gothic? It was built specifically for screens — tight but legible spacing, a tall x-height, and rounded terminals that stay crisp at small UI sizes, not just in large display headlines.
Font Family & Weights
Outfit ships as a true variable font, meaning one file smoothly covers the entire weight range. But it’s also available as 9 fixed static styles if your project needs individual files:
- Outfit Thin (100)
- Outfit ExtraLight (200)
- Outfit Light (300)
- Outfit Regular (400)
- Outfit Medium (500)
- Outfit SemiBold (600)
- Outfit Bold (700)
- Outfit ExtraBold (800)
- Outfit Black (900)
How to Use Outfit on a Website
If you’re adding Outfit to a live site rather than a design file, you don’t need to download anything. Pull it straight from Google Fonts:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Outfit:wght@100..900&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">font-family: "Outfit", sans-serif;For design tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop), use the download button below to get the full family as local font files.
Font Pairing: What Works With Outfit
Outfit’s clean geometric structure makes it a strong UI/heading font, but it pairs best with something that has more neutral texture for body text:
- Outfit + Inter — Outfit for headings, Inter for body copy. This is the most common pairing in modern SaaS design, since Inter’s slightly more neutral letterforms keep long paragraphs easy to read.
- Outfit + Manrope — both geometric, so this pairing leans fully into a clean, tech-forward aesthetic for product landing pages.
- Outfit alone, weight-contrasted — since it’s a variable font, many designers skip pairing entirely and just contrast Black/Bold headings against Regular/Light body text.

FAQ
Yes — it’s licensed under the SIL Open Font License, so you can use it in client work, products, and commercial branding at no cost.
Inter was built primarily for body text and UI density at small sizes. Outfit leans more geometric and display-friendly, making it a popular heading partner for Inter rather than a direct substitute.
Yes — the Google Fonts CSS snippet above loads the full 100-900 variable range in a single file, so you can set any weight with font-weight without loading separate files.
The typeface remains open-source under its original license. Outfit.io, the company it was originally built for, was acquired by Smartsheet in 2022, but that doesn’t affect the font’s free licensing.
