## About Cormorant Garamond

Cormorant Garamond is a serif family and one of the nine visual styles of Cormorant, a display type project by Christian Thalmann of Catharsis Fonts in Zurich. The official notes say the project took its inspiration from the work of Claude Garamont, but that no particular font served as a model and most glyphs were drawn from scratch. The specimen shows very fine hairlines, sharp bracketed serifs, a small x-height with long ascenders, and numerals that rise and drop like lowercase letters. Even the Bold stays comparatively light. The family is a variable font with a weight axis from 300 to 700; Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold each have an italic, ten styles across two files. Its 2,831 glyphs cover Latin, extended Latin, Cyrillic and Vietnamese subsets. Cormorant Garamond is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Magazine headlines and pull quotes**: Hairline strokes and sharp serifs are detail that shows at large sizes, the use the Cormorant project was drawn for.
- **Book covers and title pages**: Light 300 gives a title a delicate line, with SemiBold or Bold for the author's name.
- **Stationery and invitations**: Old-style numerals blend dates and addresses into lines of mixed-case text.
- **Titles in Cyrillic**: The Cyrillic subset carries the same contrast into Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian headings.
- **Captions in a display-led layout**: Medium and SemiBold thicken the hairlines enough for a few lines of text under a large title.

## Things to know

- **A display design**: The Cormorant project is described by its designer as a display family; the thin strokes fade at small sizes.
- **Old-style numerals in the specimen**: The figures shown have ascenders and descenders instead of sitting at capital height.
- **Greek is not covered**: Subsets are Latin, extended Latin, Cyrillic, extended Cyrillic and Vietnamese.
- **Two variable files**: Roman and italic each hold the 300 to 700 weight range.
