Rineka

Rineka font by ErmediaStudio is a free vintage serif font. Its defining move is the dramatic thick–thin contrast: smooth, inky curves meet knife-edge serifs that feel carved rather than drawn. Letters sit tall and poised, giving headlines a poised, editorial snap while keeping just enough warmth in the counters to feel human and tactile.

Using Rineka, you get headlines that command space without shouting—great for boutique branding, wine labels, editorial covers, packaging, posters, and event invitations. The rhythm is tight and sculpted, so it shines large; pair this free font with a clean grotesque sans for body copy and let Rineka handle the spotlight work.
