  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Thin
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Thin Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Light
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Light Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Book
    Recent experiments, for example, have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
  • Book Italic
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Regular
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
  • Regular Italic
    Recent experiments, for example, have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
  • Medium
    Recent experiments, for example, have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
  • Medium Italic
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Bold
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Bold Italic
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Black
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Black Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.

Typeface information

GT Zirkon is an extravagant sans serif workhorse. It blends the worlds of rational tool and ornamentation by applying techniques used to optimize type for small sizes in a refined way.
