Modern luxury display serif with cut bowls and matching italic
Cronelo is a modern luxury display serif in which the bowls are sliced open, the stems stay thick and a matching italic leans the same shapes, so a two-word title reads as a couture label rather than as a headline.
Ideas for this font

Ideas for this font
Retro serif with bulbous ball terminals and a swash tail
Golden Antique is a retro serif in which the stems swell, the terminals turn into balls and the final letter drops a swash, so a two-word title reads as a 1970s record sleeve rather than as a classical serif.
Ideas for this font
Fine high-contrast mixed case with a large looped g descender

Ideas for this font
Heavy soft serif with rounded transitions and a warm weight

Ideas for this font
Thin monoline sketch serif
Line Sketch is a thin monoline serif in black on paper: tall narrow letterforms, hairlines of even weight, slab-ish serifs drawn with a slight wobble, and a hand-ruled feel that makes the two words look drawn with a fine pen rather than set from a font.
Wide didone capitals with hairline serifs
Magazine is a didone serif in white over a beauty photograph: very wide capital letters, hairline serifs, extreme contrast between the stems and the thins, and generous spacing, with a tracked line of smaller capitals beneath.
Ideas for this font
Serif with long swashes
Malerine is an elegant serif in cream over a dark portrait: high contrast, ball terminals and long drawn swashes that leave the first and last letters and loop across the whole word, with a small line beneath noting the regular and italic cuts.
Ideas for this font
Elegant high-contrast serif with swash tail
Mellian is an elegant serif in gold on a dark portrait: high contrast stems, fine hairlines, a long swash that lifts off the l and curls above the word, and softened serifs, so the name reads as a fashion or fragrance mark rather than as an editorial serif.
Ideas for this font
Fine serif with crossing loops
Mitra Macro is a fine serif in cream over a dark portrait: tall caps with hairlines, a swash that leaves the M and crosses beneath both words, and a loop that returns from the R, with four small corner notes naming the alternates and the studio.
Ideas for this font
Ornate serif with swashed capitals
Opulent Editorial is an ornate serif in black on white: high contrast, wide capitals with swashed entries on the O and the E, a T whose arms curl, and a companion italic used for the caption, so a single line carries three levels of ornament.
Ideas for this font
Tall contrasted serif with curved details
Palmore is a tall retro serif in yellow over a warm photograph: condensed letters with a very high contrast, curved details on the P and the R, and a wide set, with two small capital lines above and below.
Ideas for this font

Pelin is an Orna-Deco Victorian display serif blending classical Roman stems with inward-curled spiral hooks and diamond stem nodes.
Ideas for this font
Heavy slanted swash serif

Ideas for this font
Retro serif with intertwined loops
Radnick is a heavy retro serif in cream over a photograph of oranges on a tree: thick stems with curled entries, loops that intertwine above and below the word, ball terminals and a wide waist, with a round studio badge at the upper right and two tracked lines beneath.
Ideas for this font
Soft retro serif display
Rolla is a soft retro serif in cream on a dark blurred ground: a single heavy weight, rounded bracket where the serifs meet the stems, a large x-height, and letters that are wide and generous without any ornament.
Ideas for this font
Modern bold serif with diagonal swashes
Ronsa is a modern bold serif in cream over a portrait: heavy verticals, extremely thin joins, and capitals whose strokes are cut on a long diagonal, so the R and the A end in blades rather than serifs, giving the word an aggressive couture silhouette.
Typewriter serif with a warm even stroke
Shine Typewriter is a vintage typewriter serif in black on white: slab serifs, a moderately heavy even stroke, mixed case and a wide set, shown over a faint illustration of a typewriter with vertical labels down both sides.
Ideas for this font
Heavy distressed slab serif
Vintage Retro is a heavy slab serif printed as a distressed cream on dark green: thick squared serifs, tight spacing, and a scatter of grit and small pinholes through the fills that reads as a worn letterpress block.
Rough sketch serif
West Postage is a rough sketch serif in near-black on aged cream: uneven stems, sketchy serifs, a drifting baseline and a seeded texture, set on two lines over a period envelope with a green stamp and a postmark, with a small tracked credit beneath.
