Author's note

Digohweli, by Chris Harvey, is a free old-style serif with a calm, literary voice. The letters mix crisp contrast with gently cupped serifs and rounded forms, so the font feels rooted in book typography while the roomy curves keep it from turning stiff.

It makes sense in editorial headlines, novel covers, museum materials, poetry chapbooks, invitations, and heritage branding, where that classic tone can carry a little gravity without feeling formal for its own sake. As a free font, it is especially useful for title lines, initials, and short pull quotes that benefit from the generous roundness of the o and the distinctive double-storey g.
