Palermo

Palermo by B & P Graphics, Ltd. is a free serif font with a tall, mannered rhythm that mixes broad upright strokes with rounded bowls and clipped finishing details. That contrast gives the lettering a formal, slightly literary presence, while the soft curves keep it from feeling stiff or purely classical.

Book jackets, restaurant menus, gallery posters, invitation headings, and upscale packaging all make sense here. Palermo has enough ceremony for names and short titles, especially where those high-reaching verticals and compact curved forms can give a line a composed, old-world flavor without turning ornamental.
