Kornel is a seriffed type family designed for long texts. Its confident appearance derives from classic proportions and sharp details, both of which allow excellent performances for print and web.
With the design priority of producing texts with a harmonious rhythm, inspiration for Kornel came from Renaissance typography in general, rather than any specific typeface. Treatment of terminals and diagonal strokes produce a distinguished contemporary twist and the gently slanted Italics are the perfect complement to the Roman. Sharp entry and exit strokes and oblique strokes of the Italics make for the simplified shapes of letters such as R, K, k, v, x, y, w.
With its seven weights – Book, Regular, Regular-Dark, Medium, Bold, ExtraBold and Black – and related Italics, Kornel meets the most demanding of text compositions.
