linja pona is a uniform line weight sitelen pona font, created by David A. Roberts and expanded on by jan Same, with several major versions released from 2016 to 2021. It has influenced other sitelen pona fonts in glyph design and feature set. Most notably, linja sike used the linja pona glyphs as a base. It was the first font to include glyphs beyond the characters featured in lipu pu.
Its goal is to be "a standard font that was simple and that could be read easily at different sizes"—"the Arial of sitelen pona"[1]. In an effort to make most of the glyphs fill a square bounding box, linja pona heavily diverges from some of glyphs proportions from pu. For example, the loops in linja pona's pronouns (mi sina ona) and lape (lape) glyphs take up most of the space, which may make them harder to read or distinguish; its glyph for palisa (palisa) is also quite wide.
