Red Hat is a family of typefaces produced in 2 optical sizes and a monospace
style, in a range of weights with italics. The fonts were originally
commissioned by Paula Scher, Pentagram and designed by Jeremy Mickel, MCKL for
the new Red Hat identity.

Red Hat is a fresh take on the geometric sans genre, taking inspiration from a
range of American sans serifs including Tempo and Highway Gothic. The Display
styles are low contrast and spaced tightly, with a large x-height and open
counters. The Text styles have a slightly smaller x-height and narrower width
for better legibility, are spaced more generously, and have thinned joins for
better performance at small sizes. The two families can be used together
seamlessly at a range of sizes.

The family has been upgraded to variable fonts with a weight axis (Light to
Bold) in June 2021.

The November 2024 update addresses a frequently reported weight issue. The
Medium and SemiBold weights now have slightly different weight compared to the
previous version, ensuring better weight distribution within the design space
and improved fluidity in the variable font.
