About Cigar Font Family


Cigar is a revival of a 1970s and 1980s typeface called Cucumber or Nassel Black or Scanner. It has been carefully redrawn and expanded into a full-featured OpenType font. Cigar Octo and Cigar Quarto are new angular reinterpretations of Cigar. In Cigar Octo, most round shapes have been replaced by octagonal shapes. In Cigar Quarto, most round shapes have been replaced by rectangular shapes.


Use Cigar to get attention. Use it for headlines, advertisements, magazines, brochures, book covers, corporate design, presentations, websites, signs, event announcements, and for other things that need attention.

About Durotype

Durotype is an innovative font foundry based in Best, The Netherlands. It has been founded by Ben Blom in 2010. All Durotype fonts are created out of passion for the design involved. They are crafted in a long process of creation and improvement, until the right fusion of the functional and esthetical has been achieved. With whatever passion they are created—Durotype fonts are, in the end, just high-quality tools with a bit of pizzazz. Most of them are rather universal tools: their design doesn’t determine any specific uses. Many of them are very versatile: they have many styles and many glyphs. Many of them are, given their design, crafted in a way to maximize their legibility. Durotype fonts are meant to be durable: in many years from now, they should be just as enjoyable and useful as they are today. Durotype fonts have been deployed successfully in many areas. In financial services, entertainment, and museums. In television, marketing, and corporate identities. In technology, sports, automotive, and real estate. In food, retail, B2B, and health. In e-books, apps, ATMs, and video phones. In web sites, catalogs, signage, and packaging. Et cetera. Durotype’s most successful fonts are Flexo, a squarish design (MyFonts Most Popular Fonts of 2012), and Aspira, a legible geometric family with a very big number of styles. Flexo in use: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. Aspira in use: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.
