Cormorant is a totally free display variety loved ones created by Christian Thalmann. The project currently comprises a total of 45 font files spanning 9 unique visual types (Roman, Italic, Infant, Infant Italic, Garamond, Garamond Italic, Upright Cursive, Compact Caps, and Unicase) and 5 weights (Light, Frequent, Medium, SemiBold, and Bold.) Cormorant was conceived, drawn, spaced, kerned, programmed, interpolated, and produced in its entirety by Christian Thalmann of Catharsis Fonts. For an illustrated presentation and description in the household, please visit its Behance web page.
Whilst this project was heavily inspired by Claude Garamont’s immortal legacy, Christian did not use any distinct font as a beginning point or direct reference for the styles. Most glyphs had been drawn from scratch; when he necessary guidance on a precise character, he searched for the term Garamond and skimmed by way of the results to get a basic impression.
He’s grateful towards the inventive souls around the Typophile, TypeDrawers and Typografie forums, and Github, for any wealth of information about variety design, and for giving a large amount of fantastic feedback on Cormorant in the course of its improvement. He also thanks the tireless people at Glyphs, in unique Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer of Schriftlabor and Georg Seifert. Special thanks go to Dave Crossland and Google Fonts for creating the libre release of this font family feasible by means of generous funding from the improvement process.
The Cormorant project is led by Christian Thalmann, a form designer based in Zurich, Switzerland.
