Download Catalina font

Catalina font by Kimmy Kirkwood (Kimmy Design type foundry) is a prolific family offering handmade organic looking full-blooded lettering. Catalina font family is inspired by a charming bakery in Newport Beach, CA with its handwritten menus, chalkboards and wall quotes. Catalina typeface comes in 7 variations (5 fonts in at least 3 weights each, plus 2 ornamental fonts). It features condensed Sans Serif, Slab Serif, and script faces, with a strongly pronounced hand-drawn trembling and a pleasant art deco reminiscence. Excellent for branding, packages, logos, etc., wherever a personal, unique and organic message is needed, or just in case of hunger for a wholegrain letterfood. Follows a brief description of the delicacies that can be found in the Catalina’s font bakery:

Catalina Anacapa: All-caps low stroke contrast slender Sans and Slab Serif types providing 3 weights each (Light, Regular, and Bold), contextual alternates with 3 options for each letter, stylistic alternates for some of them (A, K, P, Q, R, Y), and also a Small Caps set.

Catalina Avalon: Similar to Anacapa, but featuring high stroke contrast. Same font structure (Sans & Slab Serif, weights, and OpenType options) plus two inline versions – Avalon Sans Inline and Avalon Slab Inline.

Catalina Clemente: A geometric Sans Serif with more standard width designed for use in paragraph text but also suits headlines. It contains All Caps and lowercase, upright and custom italics, and 3 OpenType alternates for each letter.

 

 

Catalina Script: A flourish handwritten cursive adding grace and attraction – the “bonne odeur” making the Catalina font a real “boulangerie”. It offers contextual alternates (2 forms for each letter), stylistic alternates, special ligatures, and titling alternates for each capital letter.

Catalina Typewriter: Similar to Clemente this typewriter Serif is designed for paragraph text but it’s just as suitable for headlines. It offers both upright and custom italics, and 3 contextual alternates for each letter.

Catalina Extras: Two character sets (Flourish and Extras) include invaluable supplements like borders, frames, arrows, banners, flourishes and more. Catalina Flourish has all of its options in a light and bold style. To use the Light version type all lowercase letters, uppercase (or Shift+) is for the Bold version.
