## What it is
Cal Sans is an open-source variable typeface commissioned by Cal.com, distributed as an npm package and font files under the SIL Open Font License. It provides multiple families (A11y, UI, Base, Geo) with axes for weight, optical size, geometry, sharpness, and true italics in a single variable font file.

## Use cases
- use a free open-source sans-serif font for a product UI
- download a variable font for web design
- find a geometric sans typeface for headlines
- add Cal Sans to a website via npm
- get a font with accessibility-friendly letterform options
- pair a brand font with a UI font

## When to choose
- you need a permissively licensed (OFL-1.1) sans-serif for commercial or personal projects
- you want one variable font file covering UI text through display headlines
- you want named instances plus axes for geometry, weight, and italics

## When to avoid
- you need a serif or monospace typeface
- you require fonts outside the sans-serif style or with extensive non-Latin script support
