About Krona One

Krona One is a semi-extended sans serif: its round letters are stretched into broad ovals, and capitals such as C, G and O are wider than they are tall. Stroke thickness changes very little, and the lowercase is large in relation to the capitals. A few details break the regularity. W and w are drawn with crossing middle strokes, J drops below the baseline, and y ends in a curved tail. The official description traces such shapes to hand lettering on Swedish posters of the early twentieth century. Yvonne Schüttler designed Krona One, and the copyright is held by Sorkin Type Co. The family is one Regular font with 424 glyphs for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets, and it is not a variable font. Krona One is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Krona One works

Wordmarks

Wide letters of even stroke weight spread a short name across a letterhead, label or shop front.

Section headings on websites

The large lowercase keeps mixed-case headings legible, and the width sets them apart from narrower body text.

Posters with a Scandinavian reference

The model was Swedish poster lettering, a fitting source for travel, design and exhibition posters.

Navigation and buttons

The official description says the face holds up at small sizes; short labels can use that, provided the width has room.

Things to know

Regular is the only font

Krona One has no bold, light or italic. Hierarchy has to come from size, case or colour.

Lines run long

The letters are semi-extended, so a heading in Krona One needs more horizontal space than the same words in a normal-width sans serif.

Latin scripts only

The character sets are Latin and Latin Extended. Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
