About Coiny

Coiny is a display typeface whose Latin and Tamil letters were designed side by side. Every stroke is thick and ends in a full round, as if painted with a blunt, round-tipped brush; the official notes link the shapes to the informal lettering found on city streets. In the specimen the counters are small ovals, the capital C curls in on itself, the x-height is tall and the letters are built from simple geometric forms. The family has one style, labelled Regular although it is very heavy, and it is not a variable font. Its 731 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Vietnamese and Tamil. Marcelo Magalhães, who works as a type designer in São Paulo, leads the project, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Coiny works

Titles in Tamil and Latin

Both scripts share one design, so a bilingual headline keeps the same weight and rounded endings on each line.

Children's products and games

Thick strokes and round ends give short words a soft, toy-like look on covers, packaging and app screens.

Posters and shop-front graphics

The design takes its cue from street lettering and holds a large area of colour at poster size.

Stickers, badges and thumbnails

Heavy letters with small counters stay recognisable when a word is set over a photo or a busy background.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Things to know

One weight, and it is heavy

The single style is named Regular 400 but looks like a black weight. There is no lighter companion.

Counters close up when small

The openings inside a, e and o are small in the specimen, so the face needs size to stay readable.

Tamil is included

Coiny carries a Tamil character set in the same file as Latin and Vietnamese.
