Anaktoria Font
Author's note
Anaktoria by George Douros is a free vintage serif font with a distinctly classical, inscriptional air. Its capitals are broad and stately, with flared serifs and strong thick-thin changes, whereas the lowercase lettering turns more fluid through sweeping strokes, deep curves, and pronounced forward motion.
It is especially convincing on literary book covers, where the contrast between formal capitals and lively lowercase can shape an elegant title. Museum graphics and classical music programs also suit its cultivated historical character. In wine packaging or cultural event branding, the lettering can become part of the emblem itself, using its long curves and sculpted capitals as recognizable graphic forms.

Description
Grecs du roi was designed by Claude Garamond (1480 1561) between 1541 and 1544, commissioned by king Francis I of France, for the exclusive use by the Imprimerie Nationale in Paris. Greek in Akaktoria is based on a modern version of Grecs du roi prepared by Mindaugas Strockis in 2001. Lowercase Latin stems from the titles in the 1623 First Folio Edition of Shakespeare. Scott Mann & Peter Guither prepared a modern version for The Illinois Shakespeare Festival in 1995. Cyrillic has been designed to match the above Greek and Latin. The font covers the Windows Glyph List, Greek Extended, various typographic extras and some Open Type features (Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures, Swash Capitals).
