## About Lemon

Lemon is a display face with the fluid shapes of a sign painter's brush. Every letter leans forward, strokes are fat with rounded ends, and counters are small teardrops. Terminals curl slightly, as on the foot of L, the tail of Q and the hook of j and y. The designer drew the capitals with particular care so that words in all caps, compound capitals and acronyms hold together, and the numerals follow the same swing. The family consists of one style, labelled Regular 400 but dark enough to act as a bold; the official description mentions that a lighter weight for longer text was only a future possibility. Lemon is not a variable font. Its 434 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, and a later update enlarged the glyph set and added fractions.

## Where it works

- **Food and drink packaging**: Fat, soft letters with small counters fill a label and stay legible on busy, colourful backgrounds.
- **Shop signs and window lettering**: The source is painted shop signage, so a name set in Lemon already looks brushed on.
- **All-caps titles and acronyms**: The capitals were drawn to work together, which lets a short title run entirely in upper case.
- **Price tags and offers**: Heavy numerals in the same style, plus fractions, set prices and quantities at a glance.
- **Children's event posters**: Rounded ends and a forward lean give headings a friendly, informal voice.

## Things to know

- **One dark style**: Lemon has only Regular 400, which is visually very heavy. There is no lighter weight for paragraphs.
- **Slanted by design**: The upright does not exist: the single style itself leans to the right.
- **Latin Extended included**: Letters for Central European languages and Turkish are present. Cyrillic and Greek are not.
