About Headland One

Headland One is a serif typeface made for reading on screens. In the specimen the letters are generously wide, the contrast between thick and thin is low, the serifs are solid, and the lowercase is tall against the capitals. The figures are old-style: 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 drop below the baseline while 6 and 8 rise, and the ampersand is an open, looping form. The official description says the face works from tiny sizes up to headline settings, that its character recalls the types of the UK private press movement around the turn of the twentieth century, and that its eccentric details only become noticeable when the type is set large. The family is one Regular file with 411 glyphs and is not a variable font. Gary Lonergan is the designer, Sorkin Type Co holds the copyright, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Headland One works

Reading text on screens

Wide letters, low contrast and solid serifs were chosen for legibility in browser text.

Captions and footnotes

The official description states that Headland One remains useful at very small sizes.

Headlines that show the details

Set large, the looping ampersand and other eccentric shapes become part of the design.

Dates and figures inside sentences

Old-style figures share the rhythm of the lowercase, so years and amounts do not stand out from the line.

  font-weight: 400;

Things to know

One weight, no italic

Headland One is a single Regular file, so emphasis in text needs another approach.

Old-style figures

The numerals in the specimen vary in height like lowercase letters.

Romanian is incomplete

The letter ț is not in the font, so Romanian is not among the languages whose letters are complete.
