About Corleone Font Family


Corleone was originally designed as a two font family in 2001 and offered for free.

This year we've expanded the font family to twelve fonts including small caps and italics.

While the new Corleone has been greatly refined and is a much more professional quality font we've decided to still offer the original two fonts for free.

Corleone is the perfect font for t-shirts and other merch, the new small caps make this font stand out and bring attention to whatever you use it on.

Corleone is the font you can't refuse.

Tech notes:

Corleone was designed after a famous movie logo in the 1970's with a title name that sounds a lot like The Grandfather if you know what I mean.

The movies had three installments, my original font was patterned after the logo for the third movie, the new Corleone Primo and Secondo versions are patterned after the logos of the first two movies.
The differences are noticed mostly in the lowercase letters.

One thing you will not find in this font family is the puppeteer or puppet master hand because it's been registered as a separate trademark of Paramount Pictures.

If you're using an application that works in layers then you'll be interested in the four extra over score glyphs included in some of the versions of this font. Sorry, MS Word does not work in layers so this feature will not work in MS Word.

When you open up the glyph map in Adobe Creative Suite you should see the over score glyphs when you scroll down to the bottom.

These extra over score glyphs allow you to extend the top line of a single capital letter, with four different lengths you should be able to mix and match to achieve the length that you desire.

When using the over score glyphs it's best to divide your word or headline into separate text objects, the cap being one object and the remaining letters being the second.

If you try using the over score glyphs on a single text object then with each over score that you add the text after it will get pushed down the line.

About FontMesa

Founded in 2000 by photographer and type designer Michael Hagemann, FontMesa has specialized in creating type styles of the old west and fonts for sign lettering. Some fonts are classic Italian (Tuscan) and French revivals with new lowercase letters added while others were created from a small sample of letters found on old documents never intended to be a complete font. FontMesa continues to research and find old, long lost type from the 1800s, then revive them into the digital world where they will never be forgotten. With a FontMesa font you can be assured of a quality product; all fonts are drawn and kerned by hand and never created by automatic scanning methods.
