Cyclone

Cyclone Font Family was designed by Jonathan Hoefler and published by Hoefler & Co.. Cyclone contains 3 styles and family package options. Part of the Shades collection of two-color fonts, Cyclone is a compact inline that can be edgy or earnest. The Cyclone typeface was designed by Jonathan Hoefler in 1999. A decorative inline face, adapted from Hoefler’s Knockout No. 67 (1994), Cyclone is a ‘biform’ alphabet featuring lowercase letters drawn to the height of the capitals. A ‘chromatic’ typeface, Cyclone includes the two styles Background and Inline, designed to be set in different colors and superimposed in register. From the desk of the designer: Many decorated typefaces are either decidedly stodgy or insufferably hip. In developing Cyclone, an adaptation of our Knockout No. 67 typeface, we identified one of the culprits: a set of six letters, whose design can dramatically polarize the disposition of a typeface. Cyclone includes alternates for each of these characters, whose addition allows the face to appear either solemn and commanding, or exuberant and spry.
