About Iceberg
Iceberg is a condensed decorative typeface in which every letter is assembled from straight strokes of one thickness. Where another design would draw a curve, Iceberg clips the corner at 45 degrees, so the bowls of a, e and g become faceted boxes, an effect the official notes compare to folded tape. Ascenders and descenders are long, most characters occupy a similar width, and the repeated modules give a line a regular vertical beat. The family consists of one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 220 glyphs cover the basic Latin set, enough for English, German, Spanish, Italian and the Nordic languages; French is covered except for the rare capital Ÿ. The name table credits Victor Kharyk as designer and Cyreal as manufacturer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
Where Iceberg works
- Game and sci-fi titles
- Faceted bowls and clipped corners give a title an engineered, angular look without any added effects.
- Headlines in narrow columns
- The slim letter width lets a long word sit on one line where a wider face would break.
- Wordmarks
- Modular strokes of one thickness turn a short name into an even pattern of verticals and diagonals.
- Counters and scoreboards
- Numerals are built from the same narrow boxes as the letters, so figures and labels line up in one rhythm.

- Drawn for medium and large sizes
- The official notes describe Iceberg as suitable for medium to large sizes; they also call it mostly, not strictly, monospaced.
