About Abel

Abel is a sans serif font designed by MADType. Sans serif typefaces omit the small finishing strokes found on serif letters, making them a common choice for contemporary layouts, user interfaces, labels, and clear headings. Abel can be considered for designs that call for a simple typographic style without decorative serifs.

This release contains one Regular style at weight 400 and comes in TTF format. It supports the Latin script and includes 259 glyphs. The single-weight family provides one consistent style for projects that do not require multiple font weights. You can preview your own wording to see how the lettering works with your layout before downloading the file.

Abel is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits commercial use subject to the license terms. Keep the license text with the font when sharing or redistributing it.

Use Abel on your website

Copy the CSS below. Option B needs the font files uploaded to a fonts/ folder on your own server first.

Option A: use the font directly from Fonts1 (no upload needed)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Abel';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/1072/b6423f619a-abel-regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

Quickest way to try it. For a busy production site, Option B (your own server) is more reliable.

Option B: self-host (download, then upload to your server)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Abel';
  src: url('fonts/Abel-Regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

2. Apply it

body {
  font-family: 'Abel', sans-serif;
}

How to install Abel

  1. Download the font family (ZIP) and extract it.
  2. Windows: right-click the .ttf or .otf file and choose Install. macOS: double-click the file and choose Install Font.
  3. Restart your design or office program, then pick Abel from the font list.

Fonts that pair well with Abel

Good design mixes two or three fonts. These are picked from a different style (a clean sans next to a script, a serif next to a sans) so they stay easy to tell apart and cover the same language.
