'''{{tp|linja pona}}''' is a uniform line weight {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/sitelen pona|sitelen pona]]}} {{w|typeface}} created by David A. Roberts and expanded on by {{tok|jan Same}}, with several major versions released from 2016 to 2021. It has influenced other {{tp|sitelen pona}} fonts in glyph design and feature set. Most notably, {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/linja sike|linja sike]]}} used the {{tp|linja pona}} glyphs as a base. It was the first font to include glyphs beyond the characters featured in {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/lipu pu|lipu pu]]}}.

Its goal is to be "a standard font that was simple and that could be read easily at different sizes"&mdash;"the {{wp|Arial}} of {{tok|sitelen pona}}"<ref>jan Same [u/jan-Same] (20 May 2020). [//reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/gn8r6k/linja_pona_font_update/fr9jt5z [Comment on "{{tok|linja pona}} font update"<nowiki>]</nowiki>]. r/tokipona. ''Reddit''. <blockquote>Thank you! With {{tok|linja pona}}, I tried to make the Arial of {{tok|sitelen pona}}.<br/>An uniform simple design that could be easily read whatever the size.</blockquote></ref>. In an effort to make most of the glyphs fill a square bounding box, {{tp|linja pona}} heavily diverges from some of glyphs proportions from {{tp|pu}}. For example, the loops in {{tp|linja pona}}'s [[Special:MyLanguage/pronoun|pronoun]] ({{sp|mi sina ona}}) and {{tp|lape}} ({{sp|lape}}) glyphs take up most of the space, which may make them harder to read or distinguish; its glyph for {{tp|palisa}} ({{sp|palisa}}) is also quite wide.
