This is the first Moldovan made typeface created with a mere goal — to make communication between the state and the citizen honest and understandable.
Also, to bring Moldova's image closer to that of a modern, open country.

Onest is suitable for reading long texts from the screens of any device and is recommended for government and social service sites.
Letters are easily distinguished even in small sizes, so they can be used in interface elements or navigation.
We perceive Onest as a unique recognizable voice, accessible to everyone, regardless of language.
We perceive Onest as being more than just a typeface.
Letters in words are like people in society, all different and not always cooperative. Onest will „befriend“ the most incompatible characters and even tweak them for better interaction in the word.
More mutual respect
Onest is a smart typeface. It adapts to the text, giving the best possible layout for each element in any context.
The subtleties of correct speech transmission are Onest's strong points. It knows like no other the importance and value of using the right diacritics and the difference between cedilla, ogonek and and the way things should be.
More correctness
Onest Bold
Onest is a living typeface. Just the way we use intonation to convey extra meaning to our words, Onest does it with different lettering options.
More freedom of expression
Fonts: Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Extra Bold, Black
For all its versatility, Onest allows text to keep its individuality. All thanks to alternative symbols that set the tone and even the character of the message.
More personality
Several character sets have been developed for a range of closed and semi-closed apertures, allowing the combination of characters depending on the goal.
Onest Medium
Onest is a modern typeface, so it has a lot of useful conveniences. See what happens when you type the word Moldova and two asterisks.
More convenience
This works with some currencies as well. The list of auto corrections will only expand in the future.
Just like all of us, Onest can speak different languages: Romanian, Russian, Gagauz, Ukrainian and even Bulgarian. It was born in Moldova, so it is ready from early days to be the voice of everyone who lives here.
More attention to everyone
Languages: Romanian, Russian, Gagauz, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, English and others.
Onest is designed as a hybrid of geometric and humanistic grotesque. The font combines capaciousness and legibility, so it saves space without losing readability.
More versatility
Neutrality of forms of signs in normal and bold fonts allows the typeface to endure typing of long texts.
How the familiar things can speak differently with Onest
Onest looks organic in examples of Swiss or international typography.
In seven fonts, from thin to extra bold, Onest is designed as a hybrid of geometric and humanistic grotesques. The neutral forms of the graphemes inherit the ideas of the modernist neo-grotesques of the second half of the 20th century.

Moldovan designers tried Onest
Good, readable, and very nice in form. It has something reminiscent of Helvetica.
I think the typeface would look good on media in large lettering or text blocks.
Radion Cicic
I use Onest in graphic design - very convenient. From what was been able to see, it's balanced, well readable, and compact in both languages. It's great when a common, professional, properly constructed typeface with good diacritics is openly used by government platforms.
Olga Radu
I’ve tested the typeface, and I really like it. Very readable.
Mihai Dolganiuc
I have compared Onest with a dozen other typefaces. I liked your I compared Onest with a dozen other fonts. I liked your font, honestly. I would use it with great pleasure. I don't have any special remarks, as its kerning is initially good, good readability, too.
I would be glad if our government institutions were to adopt it, honestly.
Maxim Rubliov
The typeface is excellent. Smooth, sure, readable. Pragmatic and modern. Very docile. Minimal need for hand finishing, good for a typeface that will be used by non-professionals as well.
A unique national typeface is fine. Because typeface is a voice, a tone. What tone you use is just as important as what you say. And this typeface can be our unique voice. Nice and confident.
