Download Danton

Danton is a very interesting new font family designed by Dieter Hofrichter (Hoftype). What will immediately grab your attention are the prominent serifs – a very good designer’s decision that makes the typeface’s appearance rather snappy, sharp and fresh. Due to its solid structure, Danton, although originally designed for use mainly in newspapers and magazines and especially for headlines, is very proper for the smaller sizes too. With it you will have a very reliable workhorse kind of a typeface that will give you plenty of choices.

When speaking of choices here is a short list of what you get with Danton font family. Firstly, you have a the stunning 14 weights – extra Light, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Extra Bold and Black, each with its true Italics. Then, you get what you’d expect from a modern font – a real abundance of OpenType features including ligatures, small caps, fraction and scientific numerals, arrows, proportional and lining old style figures, ordinals, proportional and tabular lining figures, currency symbols and, of course, extended language support.

Danton font family is, as was mentioned above, designed by the German designer Dieter Hofrichter and released by the foundry he established back in 2010 – Hoftype. Ever since he has invested significant effort to offering professionally crafted contemporary text fonts that are based on his vast knowledge of the typographic traditions and history. Here you can take a look at some of them: Orgon, Orgon Slab, Pesaro, Campan, Equip Slab.
