Vollkorn came into being as the first typeface design by Friedrich Althausen.

First published in 2005 under a Creative Commons license, it was soon downloaded thousands of times and used in all kinds of web and print projects.

It intends to be a quiet, modest and high quality text face for bread and butter use.
|
|
Unlike many text typefaces from the Renaissance period until now, it has dark and meaty serifs and a bouncing and healthy look.
|
|
It might be used in body copy, or just as well for headlines and titles.
|

»Vollkorn« (pronounced »Follkorn«) is German for »wholemeal« which refers to the old term »Brotschrift«.
|
|
It stood for the small fonts for every day use in hand setting times.

In January 2019, it was updated to be a Variable Font with a "Weight" axis in both Roman and Italic.
