Cora is a sans serif with an experimental bent, offering a large x-height, some contrast of stroke weight, and capitals inspired by classical lettering. The large x-height gives it a voice with a little more volume so that those in the back of the room have no trouble hearing. Because the letters seem slightly large, Cora remains clear at smaller point sizes. It is a typeface intended to perform well on screen without loosing its attraction in print and the nature of its shapes allows for condensation or expansion without becoming severly distorted. The uppercase exhibits classical proportions found in ancient Roman inscriptions, which provides opportunities for setting titles in all caps.Cora has a full range of numerals for every use, small caps, the most common OpenType features and supports many languages that use the latin extended alphabet. It is available in a range of three weights plus italics.
OpenType features: small caps, all caps, tabular old-style figures, proportional old-style figures, proportional lining figures, tabular lining figures, fractions, superiors and scientific inferiors, symbols, denominator, numerator, ligatures
