Shanti by Vernon Adams is a free humanist sans serif with broad, open forms and gently changing stroke widths. Its capitals are tall and plainly drawn, with soft curves set against firm verticals. The lowercase feels especially relaxed.
Illustration-led packaging and editorial covers can echo those rounded shapes through simple silhouettes and friendly artwork, and the same approachable construction suits community branding and educational posters. Its calm, informal voice is likely to appeal to family audiences, local organizations, and publishers seeking warmth without novelty lettering.
