Fontworks UK announces release of new G-Type Organon families

Organon comprises two distinctive new families from type designer Nick Cooke, Organon Sans & Organon Serif, released through his G-Type foundry and distributed by Fontworks UK Ltd.

• new OpenType families Organon Sans & Organon Serif
• designed to be interchangeable and work seamlessly together
• discretionary ligatures, contextual alternates, small caps & 4 sets of figures
• extensive language coverage including Central European, Turkish and Baltics

'Organon' was the name given by Aristotle’s followers, the Peripatetics, to the standard collection of his six works on logic. The order of the Organon works was deliberately chosen by Theophrastus to constitute a well-structured system. Cooke's six weight Organon Sans & Serif typefaces form an indepth type system, both components complementing eachother wonderfully to create an elegant, legible and thoughtfully designed suite of fonts. Tapered stems give the Organon OpenType fonts an attractively robust appearance.

All Organon OpenType fonts contain 4 sets of numerals (lining, old-style, proportional, tabular) plus Small Caps, ligatures, discretionary ligatures and CE language support. In addition the Sans versions contain extra OT style sets with alternate lower case y, infant a, and double decker g.

Organon is available from Fontworks UK Ltd and online at www.type.co.uk
