Typeface Design for Co
Fourteen years in development
Co is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Ron Carpenter at Dalton Maag, developed between 2007 and 2021. It combines a geometric underlying structure with rounded terminals and ships in separate Text and Headline optical sizes. The family covers Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin scripts, supporting over 920 languages.
Insights
- The family is split into Text and Headline optical-size variants.
- Rounded terminals distinguish Co from more strictly geometric or conventional humanist sans designs.
- Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin coverage in a single family points to deliberate multi-script planning across the 2007–2021 development span.
- OpenType features include tabular and proportional numerals, Urdu numerals, fractions, ordinals, superscript, and subscript.
