About Epilogue

Epilogue is a sans serif family built as a variable font with one axis, weight. In the specimen the letters are fairly wide with generous round bowls, the lowercase is tall, strokes end in flat horizontal or vertical cuts, and the g is a double-storey form. The weight axis runs from 100 to 900 with nine named weights, Thin to Black, and each has an italic, giving 18 styles in two variable files. The fonts hold 1,144 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The project is led by Tyler Finck, a type designer who runs Etcetera Type Co in Ithaca, New York. Epilogue was added to Google Fonts in 2020 and is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Epilogue works

Large website headings
Wide letters and the Black 900 weight fill a headline with few words.
Brand wordmarks
The double-storey g and flat stroke endings give a short name recognisable detail.
Interface text
A tall lowercase and nine weights cover labels, body text and emphasis in one family.
Editorial layouts
Italics exist for every weight, so captions, quotes and headings can each use a matching slanted style.
Vietnamese-language sites
The Vietnamese subset is included alongside Latin Extended.

Wide proportions
The letters take more horizontal room than a narrow sans, so long headings need space.
