Vernon was developed by Giles Edwards and published by Giles Edwards. Vernon includes 2 designs and family package options. p > Vernon's inspiration came while investigating and examining a 'legible' typeface style for concrete purpose. The main qualities of 'Vernon' can be seen in the a little regulated strokes that reference the natural and friendly humanist percentages of the humanist hand, with open interior letterspace characteristics.

The subtle detailing and completing of strokes and junctions-- seen in the curved tail of the lowercase 'l' and the head serif of the lowercase 'i', develop a smooth rhythm along the baseline. Making use of the 'contextual option' function of OpenType, Vernon substitutes select characters in words with word-shapes that may cause visual confusion to some readers. Vernon uses subtle character distinction in the detailing of the inner-shape/ counter space from similar letter shapes (for example: 'p', 'd', 'g' and 'q') to help in producing the contextual alternate designs.

Vernon is recommended for usage as a text typeface, as it performs well at small text sizes (12 point size and below) intended for continuous reading of printed instructional and presentational information, especially where an inclusive audience group is required.
