About Neo Sans

Neo Sans and Neo Tech are the typefaces designed by the British type designer Sebastian "Seb" Lester. The typefaces were released by Monotype Corporation on 19 April 2004. The design concept called for a versatile, futuristic typeface that didn't look "crude, gimmicky or ephemeral". The typeface gained popularity after a custom variant was used as the main typeface for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It has been used as branding for many organizations since.

Using Neo Sans in a book

Sans-serif faces work well for headings, captions, children's books and modern nonfiction. For long-form body text in print, most designers still prefer a serif.

Commercial typefaces require a licence that covers embedding in PDFs and ebooks; check the foundry's licence before you publish.
