Larken was designed by Ellen Luff and published by EllenLuff. Larken contains 16 styles and family package options. The font is currently #37 in Hot New Fonts.
Larken is a confident serif.
Designed to reflect nature, it creates a sense of natural softness and expressiveness. We pushed the concept into a usability focused direction, to works as a bold tool and beautiful communicator.
Larken variable allows fluid design across 7 weights, italics and major latin based languages. True italics advance the aesthetics, bringing energy and making it suitable for modern design.
The type family melds organic curves and gentle repetition into powerful and harmonious type. At large point sizes you can appreciate the letter shapes, whilst the same restraint and focus creates an even texture for small point sizes and long reading.
The font broadens its use by supplying weights all the way from thin to black. The natural curves, swells and sloping trunks, grow in character as the font gains weight. Whilst the thinner weights have lowered contrast and optical corrections to create a warm and gentle appearance.
The Larken character set incorporates additional symbols, stylistic alternates, unique ligatures and case sensitive punctuation – producing a stable workhorse family ready to tackle projects of any size.
