Exile, designed by Michael Bower, is a free high-contrast serif display font with an elegant, slightly enigmatic air. Broad curves and hairline strokes form crisp, poised letterforms with dramatic scale. Sharp serifs and tapered joins keep the design from feeling conventionally formal.
A fantasy game title is its clearest role, especially for stories of lost worlds and ancient artifacts. It also suits book covers and event posters, using its refined silhouette to suggest mystery without ornament. In publishing, it makes a memorable chapter mark or series emblem.

Description
Monotype Drawing Office 1922. This typeface is based on roman types cut by Jean Jannon in 1615. Jannon followed the designs of Claude Garamond which had been cut in the previous century. Garamond's types were, in turn, based on those used by Aldus Manutius in 1495 and cut by Francesco Griffo. The italic is based on types cut in France circa 1557 by Robert Granjon. Garamond is a beautiful typeface with an air of informality which looks good in a wide range of applications. It works particularly well in books and lengthy text settings.
