Organon Sans is a distinctive new display type family from Nick Cooke, released through his G-Type foundry. ‘Organon’ was the name given by Aristotle’s followers, the Peripatetics, to the standard collection of his six works on logic. The order of the Organon works was deliberately chosen by Theophrastus to constitute a well-structured system. Cooke’s six weight Organon Sans typeface forms one half of his Organon type system, the other half being his Organon Serif family, both components complementing each other wonderfully to create an elegant, legible and thoughtfully designed suite of fonts. Tapered stems give the Organon Sans OpenType fonts an attractively robust appearance.Organon includes Western and Central European language support, small caps, numerous ligatures, and 3 sets of figures (lining, tabular, and old-style.)
About the designer:
Nick Cooke started as a lettering artist in London in 1982 crafting type by hand for book jackets. He doesn't miss the pre-digital age and puts his success down to 'obsession, perseverance, thought and effort'. He controls every aspect of the creative process with particular emphasis placed on consistent character shapes, accurate positioning and extensive kerning. Nick's G-Type foundry was launched in November 1999 to develop innovative, original, but most importantly, usable typefaces.
This package contains:
Organon Sans Light, Regular, Demibold, Bold, Black, and Ultrablack
