  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Thin
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Thin 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.
  • Light
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Light Italic
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Book
    Some rocks, such as limestone or quartzite, are composed primarily of one mineral—calcite or aragonite in the case of limestone, and quartz in the latter case.
  • Book Italic
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Regular
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Regular Italic
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Medium
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Medium Italic
    An interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • Bold
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Bold Italic
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Black
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Black Italic
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.

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.
