Serlio has the character of a text face, but it is a small caps displaytype in place of lowercase letters. It has a narrow width and fine, delicate serifs and hairlines. With just a bit more flair than most text types modeled on the classic roman letters, Serlio contrasts well with old style typefaces.

Designed by Bo Berndal, the Boberia typeface's historical roots lie in the neoclassicism popular at the turn of the 20th century. Boberia's slender letters, with their large x-heights and marked stroke contrast, give it an elegant character in print. Its nostalgic, flowing forms are typical of Art Deco design, and allow users a number of possibilities for use. The Boberia family includes... Read More

Vegas is the work of British designer David Quay, an excellent choice where a bright, glitzy effect is desired. Like most scripts, the capitals work as initials in conjunction with the lowercase. The lowercase letters should be set very closely or touching to create a true script effect.

Robert Trogman originally designed Buxom for Fotostar in 1975. Trogman's design is an old-fashioned headline face, whose style feels at home in a number a different periods: the Wild West, the 1960s-70s, and once again today! Buxom is an all caps typeface with a three-dimensional effect: each character looks like it sits atop a trapezoidal shape, whose right side is always shaded. An inline... Read More
