Rufolo

Classical Elegance

Rufolo is a versatile typeface family that blends classical elegance with modern functionality. Inspired by Roman epigraphic lettering and refined with contemporary proportions, it delivers a clean, confident voice that works beautifully across both display and text applications.

Distinctive Character

Its subtle, barely-there serif gives Rufolo a distinctive personality without sacrificing clarity. The result is a balanced design that feels sophisticated, timeless, and highly readable. Sharp stroke endings and carefully controlled details add character while maintaining a neutral, professional tone.

Historical Inspiration

Influenced by classics like Optima (Hermann Zapf, 1952), Albertus (William A. Dwiggins, 1932), and Stellar (Robert Hunter Middleton, 1929), Rufolo reinterprets the inscriptional tradition with a more regular structure and square-based proportions, making it practical, consistent, and easy to use in modern layouts.

Versatile Application

Perfect for branding, editorial design, packaging, signage, publishing, and corporate identities, Rufolo adapts effortlessly from elegant headlines to extended reading text.
