The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
The Mainstay is a sans serif with bold weight, natural movement, and retro character. It has a clear rhythm that helps names, short titles, and display lines stay readable. That makes product labels, logos, web headers, and packaging feel more finished without looking overworked.
Designed by ahweproject for Mainstay ahweproject in 2020. It includes 186 glyphs with Latin support. That range keeps it practical for branding, packaging, covers, and other short text settings.
The Mainstay works well for product labels, logos, web headers, packaging. It reads best in logos, package fronts, invitations, posters, and other short settings where the letter style needs to carry the mood. It also stays useful on labels, social graphics, and brand materials where clear display text matters. It is free for personal use, with separate licensing available for commercial work.
