GFS Neohellenic
sans-serif
GFS Neohellenic is a clean, humanist sans-serif with roots in early 20th-century Greek type design. It carries a slightly academic and institutional quality, with letterforms that feel precise but not cold. The strokes have a gentle contrast and the proportions are balanced, giving it a readable, professional presence without coming across as overly corporate or sterile. It works comfortably at both display and text sizes, and its dual-script support for Latin and Greek characters makes it functionally distinctive among sans-serifs.
This font suits academic and research-oriented websites, particularly those connected to Greek institutions, universities, or cultural organizations. It also works well for editorial projects like digital magazines or long-form journalism where readability and a slightly serious tone matter. In UI contexts, it holds up for dashboards or documentation platforms that need a neutral, legible typeface with a bit more character than a generic system font.
