Summary: Default font. GNOME has Cantarell, so KDE has...
Product: artwork
Version: unspecified
Platform: Unlisted Binaries
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Version: unspecified
OS: Linux
There is no KDE custom made font. Bitstream Vera/DejaVu Sans is too generic to
be used as a brand. KDE has a lot to gain using a brand font, specially when
it's trying to distinguish itself through the Plasma Active efforts.
Looking at KDE artwork, there were attempts to use Fertigo and Diavlo, and now
official artwork uses Droid Sans. I think KDE needs its own typeface, just like
GNOME and Ubuntu are providing now.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Start KDE.
Actual Results:
KDE artwork and interface have incoherent typefaces. All the Powered by KDE
stickers are done with Vera Sans, or whatever pleases the designer, and KDE
image suffers as a result.
Expected Results:
KDE has a beautiful and coherent branding, that expresses in promotional
material and in the desktop. KDE has a beautiful, default and unique typeface,
complementing the KDE desktop experience.
