About Kavoon

Kavoon is a display typeface that grew out of experiments with a brush and ink. The specimen shows very heavy letters with a slight forward lean, strokes that swell and taper as a loaded brush would, and soft rounded ends where the brush lifts. Capitals such as K, R and A finish in curved feet, the lowercase a is a compact two-storey shape, and several figures, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 among them, drop below the baseline. The foundry advises medium to large sizes. The family is one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 451 glyphs cover the basic Latin set and part of Latin Extended, enough for Slovenian and Estonian beside Western European languages. Viktoriya Grabowska is the designer, Sorkin Type Co holds the copyright, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Kavoon works

Food and drink packaging

Thick brush strokes with rounded ends give a product name a hand-painted look on a label.

Poster headlines

The heavy colour and forward lean carry a few words across a poster at large size.

Children's and family brands

Soft terminals and curved feet keep the heavy letters friendly in a short wordmark.

Social media titles

Dense letters stay legible over a photograph when set at the medium to large sizes the foundry advises.

Things to know

Medium to large sizes

The foundry's note limits Kavoon to medium and large settings; the small counters close up in small text.

One style

Regular is the only cut, and it is already heavy and slightly slanted.

Uneven Latin Extended

Turkish ğ, Polish ą and Hungarian ő are missing, so those languages are not fully covered.

Figures drop below the line

The numerals are old-style, which looks lively in a headline but uneven in a price or a table.
