## 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 it 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.

## Things to know

- **The axis starts at Thin**: The default position of the variable font is 100 (Thin). Choose Regular 400 explicitly where an application opens the default instance.
- **ExtraBold is the heaviest weight**: The weight axis stops at 800; there is no Black.
- **Two variable files**: Upright and italic styles come as separate variable fonts.
