17px is the sweet spot for Unifora and Innovator Grotesk. At that size, capitals land exactly on the pixel grid.
I pre-calculated other sizes where the same thing happens, each paired with a matching line height.

Play with it yourself. The interactive specimen lets you explore every axis, toggle every feature, and test Unifora in 22 languages.
8/8 — Smart behaviors
The details you don’t expect: the colon auto-centers vertically with figures when you type a time like 9:41. The em dash does the same in ranges. Math symbols and brackets detect equation context and align themselves.
Dozens of small behaviors like this. The kind of polish you feel before you notice.
7/8 — Alternates
11 character alternates: G without spur, tailed a, single-storey a, double-storey g, open figures, and more.
Mix and match to dial the personality exactly where you need it. One font family, countless brand voices.
6/8 — Legibility set
Stylistic Set 2 activates the high-legibility set. Disambiguates uppercase I from lowercase l, capital O from zero, and more.
Use it for wayfinding, navigation, data tables, maps—anywhere misreading a character has consequences.
5/8 — Square punctuation
By default, Unifora uses round punctuation. Turn on Stylistic Set 1 and it switches to square.
One toggle, completely different character. Same font.
4/8 — Extended slant axis
Most italics stop at 12°. Unifora goes to 18°—and it goes both ways. Italic and retalic. The slant axis runs from −18° to +18°.
That’s a full 36° of continuous expression from a single variable font.
3/8 — Visual identity
The design sits on two signature moves: straight segments in round glyphs (O, o) and corner cuts on diagonal terminals (V, v).
The straight segments bring a hint of DIN—but only a hint. Unifora carries engineering DNA without becoming a rigid technical font.
