## About Kurale

Kurale is a serif typeface whose defining detail is the curl. Where a conventional serif face ends a stroke with a bracket or a ball, Kurale rolls it into a small hook: the specimen shows this on a, c, f, r and y, on the spur of the capital G and in the looped k and ampersand. Serifs are short and rounded, contrast is moderate, and the lowercase a is single-storey, which adds to the gentle, slightly cursive tone. The official notes say Kurale derives from Gabriela, that the curls link letters into even word shapes, and that the Devanagari was drawn as a modulated design to harmonise with the Latin. Eduardo Tunni, a type designer in Buenos Aires, leads the project. The single Regular style has 879 glyphs across Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended and Devanagari.

## Where it works

- **Headlines with a soft voice**: At large sizes the curled terminals on a, c, r and y become the visible character of a title.
- **Short reading passages**: The official notes say Kurale reads well in small bodies of text, where the curls even out the texture.
- **Sites in Latin, Cyrillic and Devanagari**: Three scripts in one font keep the Cyrillic, Devanagari and Latin versions of a page in the same style.
- **Food, craft and children's branding**: Rounded serifs and hooked strokes give a name a friendly look without becoming a script.
- **Book covers and chapter openers**: A single-storey a and looped k set a storybook tone for titles.

## Things to know

- **One style**: Kurale is Regular 400 only. It has no italic and no bold, which limits it in long structured text.
- **No Greek or Vietnamese**: Cyrillic and Devanagari are covered next to Latin; Greek and Vietnamese are not.
- **Static file**: Kurale is not a variable font.
