A Day Without Sun is an ultra-condensed version of Panforte, created by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini on the original design by Debora Manetti. Hand drawn in easy big strokes, it's an extremely condensed typeface that allows you to typeset text in faux-handmade fashion, with the subtle elegance of vintage hand lettered menus. Lovers of world cuisine will be delighted to discover that this typeface supports over forty languages using the latin alphabet, spiced with hand-picked diacritics and it also comes with a tasty side dish of greek and cyrillic glyphs. Its grungy, handmade details are visible at medium and high point sizes but do not impact the effect of the font when set in text. A Day Without Sun OpenType features include small case characters, oldstyle numerals and a series of ligatures that help keep the distinctive handmade look (they can be switched off by unchecking the “standard ligatures” option in your design software).
