About Faculty Glyphic

Faculty Glyphic is a sans serif whose strokes widen slightly toward their ends, the flared, chiselled quality its name points to. In the specimen the capitals follow classical proportions, with a narrow E, F and S beside a round, wide O, C and G, and the Q carries a flat tail that runs beneath the bowl like an underline. The dots on i and j are diamonds rather than circles, and the zero holds a small diamond at its centre, which tells it apart from the letter O. Stroke contrast is moderate and the lowercase a is two-storey. The family is a single Regular file with 412 glyphs and is not a variable font. Google Fonts credits Koto Studio, while the name table inside the font lists Koto Studio and Dylan Young. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Faculty Glyphic works

Identities and wordmarks
Diamond dots and the underlined Q are details that stay visible when a name is set at logo size.
Editorial headings
Flared stroke ends and classical capital widths give section titles and standfirsts a carved, formal tone.
Codes, prices and dates
The diamond at the centre of the zero separates 0 from O in reference numbers and price lists.
European multilingual copy
The 412 glyphs include the letters for Turkish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian alongside the Western European languages.
