The typefaceSolid letters, no holes

Nashtendo Solid is the typeface of the sign on nashtendo.pro. Steve Nash drew it in 2026 from the smallest kit he could: circles, their halves and their quarters, and rectangles, every edge snapped to a grid of 12.5. There are no hairlines and no holes. Every letter is one solid shape on the same band, told apart by its curves, its corners and its notches.

Because every letter is the same height, there’s one case: capitals and small letters are the same shapes. Letters are spaced to touch, so a word reads as one chunky lockup, and where two flat sides would meet and melt into each other, the kerning opens a sliver of space between them (993 pairs of it, built into the font).

It’s a display face. It’s at home in headlines, logos, titles, posters, game screens and anything with a glow, big and short. It isn’t made for paragraphs.

Style: Geometric display, one weight
Characters: 73: a–z, 0–9, punctuation, symbols and arrows
Case: One: capitals map to the same letters
Formats: TTF (10 KB) and WOFF2 (4 KB)
Version: 1.004, October 2026
Licence: SIL Open Font License 1.1

AnatomyHow it’s built

Letter n5 parts

Every letter is a handful of pieces from the same kit, laid on the grid and joined into one shape. The dashed box is the band every letter sits on: it’s as tall as the circle.

Point at the letter (or tap it) to pull it apart. Pick another:

UsageUsing it

On your computer

Mac: open the file and click Install Font.
Windows: right-click the file and choose Install.
Linux: put it in ~/.local/share/fonts.
Then it’s in every app that uses your fonts: Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, Keynote, Pages, Word.

Setting it

Big. It’s a display face: from about 32 px up.
Letter spacing 0. The kerning makes the gaps; tracking it out breaks the lockup.
Line height 1 or a touch less, to stack lines into a block.
No bold or italic. There’s one weight, so don’t let an app fake the others.

On the web

Download the WOFF2 (4 KB), put it with your site’s files, and load it:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Nashtendo Solid';
  src: url('/fonts/NashtendoSolid-Regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-display: swap;
}
h1 {
  font-family: 'Nashtendo Solid', sans-serif;
  letter-spacing: 0;
  line-height: 1;
}

Host the file yourself rather than linking to this site’s copy: it’s quicker for your visitors, and it keeps working whatever happens here.

The licence, in plain words

Nashtendo Solid is free under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, the licence most free fonts use, Google Fonts’ among them. You can:

use it for anything, personal or commercial, and sell what you make with it;
use it in logos, games, apps, websites, video, print, packaging and merch;
embed it in apps, games and PDFs;
change it and make your own version;
share it with anyone, or put it in your project’s files.

Two rules:

Don’t sell the font on its own. Selling things made with it is fine.
If you share the font, or a version you’ve changed, keep the licence and the copyright line with it, under the same licence.

You don’t have to credit it, though a link to nashtendo.pro is always nice.

Read the licence openfontlicense.org

QuestionsBefore you ask

Is Nashtendo Solid free for commercial use?

Yes. It’s under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, so you can use it in anything you make and sell: logos, games, apps, websites, packaging, merch. The one thing you can’t do is sell the font file by itself.

Can I use it in a logo?

Yes. Your logo is your own artwork: the licence covers the font, not what you make with it. The letters already touch, so a word set in it reads as one solid mark.

Does it have capital letters?

It has one case. Capitals and small letters are the same shapes, so NASHTENDO and nashtendo come out the same.

Which characters does it have?

Seventy-three: the letters a to z, the figures 0 to 9, and punctuation, symbols and arrows. There are no accented letters yet.

How do I use it on my website?

Download the WOFF2 (4 KB), put it on your site and load it with @font-face, as in Using it, above.

Do I have to credit you?

No. The licence only asks that you keep it with the font if you share the font itself. A link back to nashtendo.pro is always nice, though.
