After 1.5 years Calluna is finally ready! Hope you enjoy it. BTW the regular is free.

Long anticipated & absolutely beautiful, Jos! I’ve purchased the basic set, and will come back for more at a later date. (The Black, especially. And, of course, the sans!) Thank you!
I do hope that you will consider making the regular weight italic & bold (the basic set) available for @font-face embedding, so that we could build a complete site using your fonts. Having a book title in another font while displaying Calluna for everything else on a web page seems a little awkward…
July 24, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Thank *you*. I will certainly consider @f-f embedding for the other styles. Thinking of how to “solve” that right now.
July 24, 2009 at 7:54 pm
It’s just beautiful! I’ll buy it as soon my CC allow me
Thank you, Jos!

Great! Thanks, Felipe!

It’s so beautiful, would be my most liked birthday present – if I won’t buy Calluna before
My book’s going on … Calluna, I’m coming

In German there is a word: großartig. Very Great. I’m looking forward to use it for the next issue of à cooking magazine.
July 26, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Thanks, Sven. Please do keep me posted about the cooking magazine.

Beautiful! This might become the new corporate font face for a client. BTW, I’d also be mighty delighted if you release @f-f licensing options
July 29, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Corporate font sounds cool. (For now) only the reg. can be used with @f-f.

Jos, are you familiar with cufon- a way to make a javascript file from a font that can then be used to render page elements? Info at http://wiki.github.com/sorccu/cufon/about
Can your fonts be used in this way? The actual font files would be not be made available online for this to work.
August 21, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Dave, cufon is allowed.
July 29, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Gorgeous fonts Jos, really. Love the ligatures as well, you manage to mix old and contemporary so well, great work! G

Thanks, Gareth!

Thanks for letting us try the regular version.

You’re welcome

Ridiculously talented Jos. Beautiful work.
What is the official license on the ‘free’ edition of Calluna?
August 6, 2009 at 7:03 am
Thanks! The offical licenses can be found here: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna/buy.html

Hi,
I’ve been designing CV templates as a hobby in my free time lately (for free).
Couldn’t lose a chance to use the new Calluna in the latest template I’m building, still need to work out some details, but here is a preview screenshot!
I will wait for comments.

Because of all the links your post got trapped in the spam queue … Thanks for posting the images. It’s always nice to see fonts in action.

Hi Jos,
Fabulously original!
I want to buy the basic set to typeset a book. Do you know if anyone has written a book with Calluna thus far? (It’s probably too early. Maybe I can be the first!)
Of course, before I get too far I have to figure out how difficult it is to set up a special font with Latex. Seeing some of the work at CTAN to get new fonts to work “just” right I don’t think it’s trivial.
Thanks again for releasing the regular face free and keeping the others “very” reasonably priced! I’m definitely getting the basic set.
Regards,
Bob.
August 13, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Thanks, Bob! I hope things work out with the regular (and maybe later with the basic set). Please keep me posted. I would like to know if you can set it all up with Latex.
August 16, 2009 at 5:23 am
Hi Jos,
Well I’ve aided your financial cause, Jos, as I am now $55 poorer but the proud richer owner of the Calluna basic set!
I was comparing it to some of the fonts I have. This looks “a bit” like Minion Pro? Or to the professional eye, not so? Minion Pro is a superb font so if this is close, it’s going to be a big winner.
Which fonts pair up with Calluna? Your Museo? Something else?
Thanks!
Bob.
August 12, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Your fonts are really big, you should (and will!) be named together with Zapf, Frutiger, Spiekermann, Aicher, de Groot etc., outstanding talent, congratulations!!!
August 13, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Thank you very much Markus! That’s way too generous! Please *do* give me another 15 years
August 18, 2009 at 4:58 pm
@ Bob – Thanks to people like you I can devote all my time to type design. Thanks!
I’m working now on Calluna Sans and I will also do a slab serif, so that might answer your question about pairing.
BTW To me Calluna doesn’t look like Minion Pro at all… What characters/glyphs are you reffering to?
August 21, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Hi Jos,
I bought the whole Calluna family for use in my projects. Looking forward to the Sans and slab serif types.
August 21, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Harald, thanks a lot for your support! I hope she will prove herself. Please keep me posted.

I used Calluna for the seventh issue of my pdf magazine “DAIQ”.

Wonderful. Love the all caps setting.
September 24, 2009 at 4:54 pm
This is exactly what my friend was looking for the other day.

Hmm for me Calluna regular zip package is broken.
I dont see this font in Windows when I click on OTF file.
October 19, 2009 at 12:51 pm
The package seems to work fine. Can’t spot any problems.

Highlighted Type: Calluna…
It’s time to bring a serif to the font party we have going on here! The first serif I’m going after is Calluna™ Regular by Jos Buivenga at , which is part of Calluna™ family at MyFonts. This one is a freebie in a family that will run you $21……
