Lora
The curves in Lora look brushed rather than drawn, and the calligraphic hand behind them shows most clearly in the italic. Contrast is moderate, so a full paragraph holds together instead of sparkling and breaking up. It suits work where a serif needs some warmth without tipping into decoration.

Questions
- Is Lora free for commercial use?
- Yes. Lora is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Lora in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Lora belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Cyreal. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Lora?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 2 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up. Lora is a variable font: those files carry all 4 weights at once. Some older software — Word, Canva, and Photoshop before 2018 — only reads the first weight and will show it as Regular. If that happens, use the Static download on this page instead: it has 8 ordinary files, one per weight, and works everywhere.
- Does Lora support Turkish?
- Yes. Lora includes the characters Turkish needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- Does Lora support Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended and Vietnamese?
- Yes. Lora covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended and Vietnamese, across 892 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
