Author's note

Avdira Bold by George Douros of Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts is a free serif font with broad, sturdy forms and a classical cast. Its bracketed serifs, changing stroke widths, and rounded shoulders keep the lettering stately rather than severe.

It is convincing for museum branding, where its substantial shapes can suggest authority without looking corporate. Book covers and exhibition posters also benefit from the mix of generous curves and crisp finishing details. In editorial design, it can give historical features and cultural essays the measured voice of traditional print.

Description
Upright is based on the lowercase Greek letters in the typeface used by Demetrios Damilas for the edition of Isocrates, published in Milan in 1493. A digital revival, was prepared by Ralph P. Hancock, in his Milan (Mediolanum) font. Italic Greek were designed in 1802 by Richard Porson (1757  1808) and cut by Richard Austin. They were first used by Cambridge University Press in 1810. Capitals, Latin and Cyrillic, as well as the complete bold weights, have been designed in an attempt to create a well-balanced font. The font covers the Windows Glyph List, Greek Extended, various typographic extras and is available in regular, italic, bold and bold italic. The regular style of the font also covers IPA Extensions, Ancient Greek Numbers, Byzantine and Ancient Greek Musical Notation and several Open Type features (Case-Sensitive Forms, Small Capitals, Subscript, Superscript, Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures).
