Velour is a soft, plush textile distinguished by its dense surface and understated sheen. Its name comes from the French word for velvet, and the material is known for a tactile quality that changes with the light, revealing subtle variations in depth, softness, texture, and overall visual character.

Light plays an important role in the appearance of velour. The direction of the pile changes how the surface reflects light, creating areas that appear deeper, softer, or more saturated depending on the angle, while subtle shifts in movement continuously alter the fabric’s overall tone, texture, and depth.
Velour is an elegant display typeface, with thin, bracketed serifs. The typeface’s main features are the curved crossbar on ‘A’ and ‘H’, the long, sophisticated legs of ‘K’ and ‘R’ including an alternative ‘k’ automatically substituted in appropriate places, providing a consistent flow of text and a romantic feel. The typeface comes with a beautiful set of both standard and old-style numerals, two different ampersands and alternates with less complicated letterforms. Velour is available in 6 weights, from Thin to Bold, and supports Western, Central and South Eastern European languages.
