Ikea has released a free font called Soffa Sans, inspired by all the memes born from its online “Design your own sofa” planner. The tool allows for customers to design the layouts and configurations of Ikea’s couches, from the Vimle sectionals to the Vallentuna modular sofa series. Once it was discovered that the planner allowed for basically any configuration with no limit to the cost, it inspired some Sims-like creativity from users. — The Verge

The SOFFA SANS font was developed in partnership with UK agency Proximity London and is available for download here.



Some of the examples people used the sofa planner as a block-y drawing tool (which inspired the font) below.
