Cora is a sans serif with an experimental bent, offering a large x-height, some contrast of stroke weight, and capitals inspired by classical lettering. The large x-height gives it a voice with a little more volume so that those in the back of the room have no trouble hearing. Because the letters seem slightly large, Cora remains clear at smaller point sizes. It is a typeface intended to perform well on screen without losing its attraction in print and the nature of its shapes allows for condensation or expansion without becoming severly distorted. The uppercase exhibits classical proportions found in ancient Roman inscriptions, which provides opportunities for setting titles in all caps. Cora Opentype Pro has a full range of numerals for every use, small caps, the most common open type features and supports many languages that use the latin extended alphabet. It is available in a range of three weights plus Italics.

This basic version of Cora includes necessary tools for common office work, such as basic f-ligatures and kerning. A wider range of typographic tools, such as discretionary ligatures, small caps, five sets of figures, superiors, inferiors, fractions, various bullets and arrows, are available only in the full version of Cora. The language support for over 50 languages that use the Latin extended alphabet, is same in both.
