Type Inspiration: Kurry
03.28.12
Designed by Ekaluck Peanpanawate, Kurry’s basic structure is simple — a sans-serif drawn on a narrow rectangular skeleton rounded at the top and the bottom — but it’s the somewhat quirky details that make it stand out. Many of the terminals end in a softened point, as do some strokes where curves join straight stems. Most letters have a swashed alternate version, and special English-language keywords such as WITH, OF and BY (the latter two in upper- and lowercase) add to the font family’s versatility. There’s also a wealth of ligatures and various numeral styles.

This is why everybody should embrace OTF! Love the swashes and catchwords – very nice indeed. However, I’m always a bit unsure of how the curved terminals work with such a strong & basic sans serif shape. I think they can sometimes look a little weak, is it just me?
I think the subtle curved terminals are a bit refreshing given the influx of over-the-top pretty/girly/scripts flooding the marketplace.
