About Norican Fonts

Norican is a script-like display font designed to be used freely across the internet by web browsers on desktop computers, laptops and mobile devices. Norican's design is based on the merging of a number of old script fonts, most notably Stephenson Blake's 'Glenmoy' from the 1920s.

The August 2023 update features a bigger glyphset and some minor aesthetic modifications.

Who Designed Norican?

Vernon Adams portrait

Vernon Adams

Vernon practiced typeface design professionally from 2007 to 2014. A lifelong artist, during this period he eagerly explored designing type for the mobile/cloud era of computing. His work spans all genres, from lively script faces to workhorse text families and operating system UI. Vernon graduated with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) in 2006, and passed away in California in 2014. Almost all his typefaces live on as open source Google Fonts, and his favorite projects were Oxygen Mono, Monda, and Bowlby One. Follow his story at sansoxygen.com
