Lucas Sharp, with Connor Davenport, developed Ogg from an exploration of Oscar Ogg’s twentieth-century hand lettering. Sharp Type describes a combination of pen work, constructed contours and reduction techniques as the starting point for a new type design.

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 high-contrast display family and its complementary Ogg Text branch serve different scales and roles. Inspect the branch you need, rather than expecting a display outline to behave identically in a long paragraph.

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