Antenna Font

Cyrus Highsmith's Antenna began in 2006. Occupant Fonts describes a design that emphasizes the shapes of the spaces inside and between letters, with deliberately measured curves. Victoria Rushton led the 2025 Antenna 2 release, which adds language support and variable resources to that industrial sans serif direction.

Read the publisher’s family page for the source account and the edition currently offered. Keep a family name distinct from its particular release, width or optical branch.

The current Antenna 2 source lists seven weights across four widths with matching italics. Standard, Condensed, Extra Condensed and Compressed resources provide different designed proportions. Keep the revised edition distinct from an older installation: new coverage and variable resources should not be assumed to exist in every Antenna file.

Use the original publisher specimen to inspect those features. An alternative can share a broad role without having the same letter shapes, metrics or character coverage.

Compare a compact heading, a paragraph and a short interface label. Inspect the pattern of internal spaces as well as the outer letter shapes before selecting a width. Choose a designed compressed resource instead of squeezing a standard one, then inspect actual multilingual text in the selected edition.

For independent comparisons, try Roboto Condensed and Inter. Use the same wording and approximate output size. The related style guide provides broader design context.

Use Occupant Fonts to try the original and investigate the files, styles and terms for your intended workflow. This site does not distribute or serve Antenna font software.

The editable alternatives here have their own source profiles and included licenses. For the difference between a font file and copied characters, read Unicode text versus fonts.
