Zuume is a high-impact, condensed, display font family consisting of a normal and alternate Zuume Cut family in multiple weights and italics. Its range in thickness gives a sharp, technical feel in the lighter weights, while the bold, blacker weights are meant to be tightly spaced and stacked for a visual punch.
A distinct characteristic of this all caps typeface is the notched and extended ink traps meant for both function and aesthetic interest. The strong and sturdy design makes it ideal for eye-catching headlines, branding, packaging, magazines, sports, logos, and more.
The included alternate Cut family takes the dynamic nature of this design further by adding sliced out elements to flat, horizontal strokes, giving it more movement, aggression, and a sense of speed. Also part of each weight font file are matching pre-designed catchwords that add texture to your typography. Stylistic alternates and arrow glyphs increase the options available.
Zuume includes many features:
- Alternate Cut family
- Catchword glyphs (PUA-encoded)
- Stylistic alternates
- Arrows
- Fractions, numerators, denominators
- Superscript, subscript
- Slashed zero
32 OpenType (.otf) fonts included in your download:

With about 600 glyphs, this font has extensive multilingual Latin language support (100 languages) for Western, Central, and South Eastern European.
Zuume will work great right away with most any software (Adobe, MS Word, Pages, etc.), but to take advantage of the additional Stylistic Alternates and OpenType features, OpenType-savvy software (like the Adobe applications) is recommended. These additional OpenType features are not PUA-encoded to help preserve functions like spell-checking, searching, and proper glyph matching if switching fonts. However, the catchword glyphs are indeed PUA-encoded.
