Basic Font Information
Cormorant is a Unicode display serif typeface encompassing the Adobe Latin
4 range of characters. It is inspired by Claude Garamont's timeless
designs.
This release contains six styles:
- Roman
- Italic
- Upright (an upright script version of the Italic)
- Infant (a version of the Roman with single-storey /a/g/y)
- SC (a small-caps version of the Roman)
- Unicase (a small-caps version of the Roman mixed with some lowercase
shape substitutions)
Each style comes in five weights:
- Light
- Regular
- Medium
- Semibold
- Bold

ChangeLog
2015-08-27: Release v0.2 (to be released)
The spin-off styles (Infant, Upright, SC, Unicase) are now separate font
families from the default ones (Roman, Italic). This is to prevent
Keynote and PowerPoint from reacting strangely to the presence of several
instances containing the string "Bold" within the same family. IMPORTANT:
If you're upgrading from a previous version of Cormorant, please delete
your old Cormorant font files before installing the new ones. Otherwise
you'll end up with both the old and the new files, and the confusion within
PowerPoint etc. will persist. If you've used an older version of Cormorant
in a document, you will also likely have to pick the font anew, since the
font names changed.
2015-08-23: Release v0.1
2015-08-22: Redefined the UPM scale to make the type appear larger at a
given point size, and to reduce the unnecessarily large line spacing.
WARNING: Documents and webpages built with older versions of the fonts
may require some reformatting!
2015-08-17: Unified Roman, SC, Unicase, and Infant into a single Glyphs
source file. All four styles are now exported from CormorantRoman.glyphs.
Run the "Cormorant Rename Glyphs Parameter.py" script to update the
derivation laws prior to export.
