About Passion One

Passion One is a display face in which even the Regular is very heavy. The specimen shows compact, slightly narrow letters with thick strokes and counters reduced to slits. From Regular to Bold to Black the outer shapes swell and the openings inside a, e, o and s get smaller, until in Black they are thin lines. The official notes describe the family as three fonts for titles at large sizes. There is no italic and no variable file. Each font has 269 glyphs in the Latin subset. Fontstage is credited as the designer and holds the copyright; the name table inside the font names Alejandro Lo Celso. Passion One was added to Google Fonts in 2011.
