Author's note

Aurelis ADF No2 Std Bold, designed by Hirwen Harendal of Arkandis Digital Foundry, is a free high-contrast serif font with a grand, slightly theatrical bearing. Broad capitals, swelling curves, sharp wedge serifs, and lively tapered details give the lettering an old-style elegance that never feels stiff.

It can create a richly dressed title for historical publishing or literary events, and the same sculpted forms suit wine labels and heritage-minded hospitality branding. Among these uses, book covers are its strongest setting: the pronounced thick-thin strokes and distinctive, almost engraved shapes lend an immediate sense of ceremony to formal author names and titles.
