About Kameron

Kameron is a slab serif family whose letters carry flat, rectangular serifs nearly as thick as the stems. According to the official notes, Vernon Adams arrived at it by reworking and merging several older slab and Egyptian designs dating from the first half and the middle of the twentieth century. In the specimen the letters are wide and evenly weighted, with round bowls, ball-shaped ends on a, c and r, and an ampersand drawn as a joined E and t. The family is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 400 to 700, and four named weights: Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. There is no italic. Its 408 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended character sets. A September 2023 update enlarged the glyph set and introduced the variable version. Kameron is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Kameron works

Magazine and blog headlines

Wide slab serifs give a title a firm horizontal line, and SemiBold and Bold hold their shape at large sizes.

Decks and pull quotes

Four weights between 400 and 700 separate a deck, a quote and a caption without bringing in a second family.

Posters and covers

Rectangular serifs and round bowls keep a short line legible from across a room.

Wordmarks with a print-era flavour

Letterforms reworked from twentieth-century slab and Egyptian types suit names for cafes, workshops and small publications.

Things to know

The weight range stops at Bold

The axis runs from 400 to 700. Nothing is lighter than Regular or heavier than Bold.

No italic

Kameron has upright styles only, so emphasis has to come from a heavier weight.

One variable file

The download is a single variable font holding all four named weights. Static files for each weight are available from the official source.
