Galdana is a Roman serif type family distinguished by its expressive and unmistakable true italic, featuring a bold 17-degree slant that gives the typeface a strong sense of movement and personality. This defining characteristic sets Galdana apart from conventional serif families and brings a vibrant, calligraphic energy to both editorial and display typography. The design is inspired by the work of Oscar Ogg, one of the most influential American calligraphers and book designers of the twentieth century, whose legacy is reflected in the typeface’s refined rhythm and elegant stroke modulation.

The Galdana family consists of 18 styles, ranging from Thin to Fat, offering a wide typographic palette suitable for complex editorial systems, branding, and sophisticated print and digital applications. Its well-balanced Roman styles ensure clarity and stability in continuous text, while the dynamic italics add emphasis and expressive contrast without sacrificing readability.

Galdana is fully equipped for professional typography, featuring extensive multilingual support and a rich set of OpenType features. Designers can take advantage of stylistic alternates, swashes, and ligatures to enhance typographic expression and create distinctive, high-quality layouts with ease.

Complementing the main family, Galdana Caption is a specialized subfamily designed for headlines, lead text, and primary typographic roles, as well as for seamless combination with Galdana Text. The Caption family includes four styles: Regular, Italic, Fat, and Fat Italic. Its italics preserve the signature 17-degree slant, combined with shorter ascenders and descenders, delivering a compact structure and a dynamic calligraphic flavor ideal for display use and tighter layouts.

Like the main family, Galdana Caption offers full multilingual support and advanced OpenType features, ensuring consistency and flexibility across all typographic applications.

Galdana is an excellent choice for designers seeking a serif type family with strong character, historical inspiration, and contemporary versatility—perfect for editorial design, branding, book typography, and expressive headlines in both print and digital environments.

Licensing Options

Desktop

Desktop License (Traditional Graphic Use)

This basic license allows you to use the font for personal or commercial static designs — anything printed or exported as a flat, non-editable image.

Allowed uses

You can use the font for:

  • Brand identities and logos
  • Printed materials (posters, flyers, packaging, stationery, invitations, etc.)
  • Videos (titles, credits, on-screen text)
  • PDFs and digital documents
  • Social media graphics

Not allowed

  • Embedding in websites, apps, e-books, or emails
  • Sharing, redistributing, or modifying the font
  • Using the font in team or server environments
  • AI training or large-scale commercial printing

License scope

The license is based on the number of users/computers. If you need more seats later, you can simply purchase additional users.

Webfont

Webfont License (For Websites)

This license lets you embed the font on your website using the @font-face rule, so your site’s text and headings display in that font. You’ll host the webfont files yourself and link them through your site’s CSS.

Allowed use

  • Embed the font on one domain only

Not allowed

  • Sharing one license across multiple websites or clients
  • Using the font for static graphics (logos, images, etc.) — for that, use a Desktop License instead

Note

Each webfont license applies to a single website. Agencies managing multiple sites need separate licenses for each domain.

ePub

Electronic Document License (For eBooks and Digital Publications)


This license allows you to embed the font in digital publications like eBooks, eMagazines, or eNewspapers.

Allowed use

  • Embed the font inside electronic documents or publications
  • Free updates to existing publications don’t require a new license

License scope

Each publication (or issue) requires its own license. Regional or format variations don’t count as separate publications.


Not allowed

  • Using the font for cover images — for that, use a Desktop License instead
  • Reusing the same license for different publications
Apps

App License (For Mobile Applications)

This license allows you to embed the font directly into a mobile app’s code, for platforms like iOS, Android, or Windows.

Allowed use

  • Include the font inside your app package for display within the app

Not allowed

  • Using the same license for multiple apps — each app needs its own license
  • Using the font outside the app (websites, print, etc.) without the appropriate license
Digital Ads

Digital Ad / Email License (For HTML5 Ads)

This license lets you embed fonts in digital advertisements, such as HTML5 banner ads or email campaigns. A webfont kit is provided for use in your ad creatives and may be shared with third parties producing the ads on your behalf.

Allowed use

  • Embedding fonts in HTML5 ads and email campaigns
  • Sharing the kit with collaborators working on your ads

Why this license?

Digital ad usage differs from regular websites — ad impressions fluctuate, while website traffic is more stable. The Digital Ad License is priced and structured for these variable campaigns, unlike standard Webfont licenses.

Not allowed

  • Using the license for websites or apps
  • Exceeding the number of impressions purchased without updating the license

Impressions

You can buy the license based on expected impressions before the campaign starts, or adjust later if the final number changes.
