Fjalla is a medium contrast display sans serif. Fjalla has been carefully adjusted to the restrictions of the screen. Despite having display characteristics Fjalla can be used in a wide range of sizes.
Sorkin Type makes retail and Libre fonts.

If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:
make build
will produce font files.make test
will run FontBakery's quality assurance tests.make proof
will generate HTML proof files.
The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions - look at https://EbenSorkin.github.io/FjallaOne.
