About

Cianán Ùr (New Cianán) is a typeface based on an earlier work of mine, Cianán, though the similarity is a little tenuous. It covers all European languages written with the Latin script, and Vietnamese. Greek characters are also available, but I make no promises about the kerning. This is an Insular font, and several of the letters have the distinct forms used in older Irish printing. If you don’t like these, Stylistic Set 01 contains more familiar glyphs. If you enable the appropriate OpenType feature (in InDesign it’s “[Automatic Form]” in the OpenType -> Positional Forms menu), the uppercase I will be different at the start of a word. There are also a number of Discretionary Ligatures available.
