Classic Font: Ulalume

Ulalume was one of our earliest text fonts. It was originally designed in 1993 and then substantially modified in 1996, but since that time it was kind of allowed to languish in our back catalog with little attention, which was a shame because there is always a need for stylish text fonts with strongly contrasting weights, and the ultra thin and very bold elements of Ulalume really make it stand out, especially for titles and poster uses where you need something more dramatic than a standard text font.

For this new release of Ulalume we’ve expanded the character set, adding more foreign language characters and more special characterts. We’ve also cleaned up and sharpened the outlines and addressed problems with several characters which were slightly out of position or had an off look to them. The result is a really outstanding new version of an older font which we think people will find very useful. You can try the DEMO version of Ulalume for free, but it includes only one version of each character. Or you can ORDER the full version online and download it right away.
