Deacon is a 24 weight super family. Though it displays many of the characteristics of a traditional sans-serif, Deacon features numerous flavorful details that give it a unique and distinct personality.
The design of Deacon began as an exercise in creating a more tradition sans-serif variation on Central Type's
Cadet. It was also inspired by some of the more expressive sans-serifs of the early 20th century such as
Kabel and
Gill Sans. These were typefaces that weren’t afraid to inject a little personality into an often restrained style. Overall, Deacon leans more towards being decorative rather than utilitarian and is ideally suited for large, display use.
Deacon contains a full range of weights including oblique and condensed versions. Each weight contains over 350 glyphs with thorough language support and OpenType features.
