Nikolaus Waxweiler Type technician in Giessen, Germany. In 2017, Nikolaus modified Dave Crossland's Cantarell (2009), and---confusingly--calls his updated 5-style typeface family still Cantarell. Free download. Github link. Discussion at Typedrawers. Nikolaus writes that he was dissatisfied with the original Cantarell, which is used in GNOME 3, and adds: The motivation behind this typeface is to be the UI font of the GNOME project, (type 1) hinting is therefore a priority. I took inspiration from Source Sans Pro and you'll probably see the similarities (letter forms and e.g., the thin-black master approach). Cantarell is a bit wider, though. I managed to iron out the personality of the original design, for better or worse.
