Cymru Serif Sampler

02 January 2026

Cymru Serif is a really cool font. I first looked into it after discovering the new Cadw logo. Don’t remember how/where I acquired it, but it now seems very hard to get hold of.

Here’s a good page about Cymru/Wales Serif on the-brandidentity. The Colophon foundry page for the font is gone. It says their fonts migrated to Monotype but it’s not on there. So if the Welsh Government want to come after me I will happily take down the page 🙃🐉

The font-feature-settings I have discovered:

• "ss01" 1 Makes the fancy d into a normal d.
• "ss02" 1 Takes away the feature where the bowl of the B/R don’t meet the stem. Switching this on makes them connected.
