Glory is a variable font: the download holds the whole weight range in one file per style, and the named weights above are positions on that range.

About Glory

Glory is a sans serif typeface drawn with graphic design in mind. Its letters are a little narrower than usual, corners are softened instead of cut square, and the vertical strokes bow very slightly, which the specimen shows most clearly in the heavier weights. The lowercase y ends in a curved tail and the ampersand takes an open, handwritten form. Glory is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 100 to 800; the eight named weights go from Thin to ExtraBold and each has an italic, 16 styles in total. The official description counts six, but the font files define eight. The 494 glyphs cover Western, Central and Eastern European Latin and Vietnamese. Robert Leuschke designed Glory, and the same notes name Hurricane as its script companion.

Where Glory works

Logos and wordmarks

Softened corners and the ExtraBold weight give a name a rounded, solid shape without resorting to a fully rounded typeface.

Headlines in limited space

Because the letters are slightly condensed, a headline in Glory takes less width than it would in a sans of normal proportions.

Brochure and website text

Regular and Medium with their italics cover paragraphs and emphasis; the official notes list body text among the intended uses.

Light, large titles

Thin and ExtraLight turn the curved stems into fine lines for covers and hero sections.

Sites in several European languages

Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets cover Turkish, Polish, Czech, Romanian and Vietnamese alongside Western European languages.
