Karla

Karla is an open-source, grotesque sans-serif typeface designed by Jonathan Pinhorn. Karla isn’t perfect—the spacing is set a little wide and some of the kerning looks a little off, however, this font has tons of character and there really aren’t any other quirky grotesques like this that are available for free. Karla is available in seven weights with matching italics.
