Laconia Cherokee
Tiro Typeworks · Ross Mills
A 14-style sans-serif family designed specifically for the Cherokee syllabary, covering the full script across seven weights with matching italics.
About
Designed by Ross Mills with assistant designers Paul Hanslow and Anna Štepanovská, this family brings a complete weight range from Thin to Extra Bold to the Cherokee script. Each weight pairs with a matching italic, giving Cherokee-language typographers the same compositional flexibility available in mature Latin families. The pay-what-you-want pricing reflects Tiro Typeworks' longstanding commitment to supporting minority script communities.
Classification
The specimen shows a clean, modulated sans-serif adapted for the Cherokee syllabary, with proportions and weight distribution consistent with humanist sans conventions applied to a non-Latin script.
