About Damion

Damion is a casual script in which the lowercase letters link along the baseline in an even, rounded line of nearly constant thickness, like writing with a round-tipped pen. The slant is strong, the x-height is low, and capitals such as A, D and Q open with a looped or curved lead-in stroke in the specimen. According to the official notes, Vernon Adams derived the design from casual typefaces of the mid-twentieth century, including one that Max Kaufmann drew for American Type Founders in 1936, and added forms of his own to make a display face for web pages. There is one style, Regular 400, in a static file. An April 2024 upgrade widened its Latin language coverage; the font now has 372 glyphs with Latin and extended Latin subsets. Damion was added to Google Fonts in 2011 and is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Damion works

Retro logos and shop signs

A joined monoline script recalls mid-century sign lettering, the source the design draws on.

Web page headings

Damion was made as a display webfont, and its even stroke stays solid on screen.

Product names on labels

A single word in connected lowercase behind a looped capital works as a ready-made wordmark.

Stickers and apparel graphics

Uniform stroke thickness has no hairlines to break up in print or cut vinyl.
