Nebula Sans: A Free, Open-Source Typeface Built for an Indie Streaming Service

Nebula, the premium streaming service for independent creators, has released its own brand typeface, Nebula Sans, under the SIL Open Font License. Based on Source Sans and designed as a drop-in alternative to Whitney SSm, it features two styles in six weights, curly punctuation, stylistic alternates, and tabular figures. The team explains why they built it—personalization, advanced features, and sustainability—and how they adapted Source Sans's metrics to match Whitney's.
