About Cormorant Upright

Cormorant Upright is a display serif in which cursive letterforms stand vertically. The specimen makes the idea plain: a single-storey a, a rounded v and w, an f that drops below the baseline and entry strokes that sweep into each letter are all italic habits, yet the stems do not lean. Contrast is high, with hairlines that nearly vanish in the Light weight, the lowercase is small against tall ascenders, and the numerals are old-style figures. The family is one of the visual variants of Cormorant, which Christian Thalmann of Catharsis Fonts drew, spaced and produced himself; the official notes say the project was inspired by the legacy of Claude Garamont without tracing any particular font. Cormorant Upright has five weights, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold, and 1,186 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese.

Where Cormorant Upright works

Wedding and event invitations

Cursive shapes without a slant give names a formal, written feel while lines stay straight and easy to centre.

Magazine titles and openers

Hairline contrast shows to advantage at large sizes, the display role the Cormorant family was conceived for.

Book covers and title pages

Old-style figures and a small lowercase with tall ascenders set a title, author and year in a classical manner.

Perfume, wine and cosmetics labels

Five weights let a product name in SemiBold sit above a Light descriptor in the same letter style.

An accent beside other Cormorant cuts

Because it shares proportions with the rest of the family, a line of Upright can replace a conventional italic for emphasis.

Things to know

There is no separate italic

All five styles are upright. The design is itself an italic made vertical, so no slanted companion ships with it.

Static files

The package contains five separate font files, one per weight. Cormorant Upright is not a variable font.

Hairlines call for size

The thin strokes seen in the Light and Regular samples become faint in small text; the official notes present Cormorant as a display family.
