Starfield String Sharpener - A Font Overhaul

Starfield String Sharpener is a thoughtful and deliberate font overhaul that enhances readability and immersion through tested typographic theory—curated by a professional designer.

Starfield uses a great combination of fonts designed by the studio Neubau Berlin (NB Architekt R and NB Grotesk R) for it's menus and interface. However, these fonts are very rounded, cold, and lack comfortable readability. This overhaul replaces them with fonts that are sharper, more intelligent, warmer, and most of all, readable—while still fitting into the sci-fi setting of the game. These fonts are Sofia Sans designed by Lettersoup in Berlin, and Exo 2 designed by Natanael Gama, both licensed under the Open Font License.

Sofia Sans was developed to be used for wayfinding signage in the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. The typeface features "confident letterforms, a pronounced vertical impetus, and tense curves" inspired by 20th century technical sans-serifs. This typeface will represent dialogue, subtitles, books, slates, descriptions, and other body text.

Exo 2 is a "contemporary geometric sans-serif typeface that conveys a technological/futuristic feeling while keeping an elegant design." This typeface works beautifully for the interface, representing headings, widgets, menu items, and other small text elements.

When combined, we transform the user interface into a warmer and more comfortable experience that keeps us company as we journey into the Starfield.
