Fontfabric · Kiril Zlatkov, Ivelina Martinova, Viktoria Usmanova · 2024
A Clarendon-derived slab-serif from Fontfabric designed for headline and editorial work, available in 18 static styles plus two variable fonts.
About
Built around the proportions and bracketed serifs of the Clarendon tradition, Gonzaga modernises the genre with an expressive ligature set, contextual alternates and expert Cyrillic support including Bulgarian local forms. The family spans nine weights from Thin to Black with matching italics, and two variable fonts cover the full range in a single file. Use cases lean toward poster design, packaging, album covers and magazine headers where a confident slab with personality is needed.
Classification
Fontfabric explicitly describe Gonzaga as a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic Clarendon slab-serif, with a bold, steady skeleton and strong editorial tone characteristic of the Clarendon/Egyptian tradition.
