Author's note

Linux Libertine by Philipp H. Poll is a free traditional book serif with a distinctly bookish bearing. Its letters combine firm vertical strokes, fine hairlines, and softly bracketed serifs. Rounded forms and gently tapered details soften the formal drawing.

Publishers and institutions will find it suited to book covers, literary magazines, and museum programs, where its proportions suggest authority. Its calligraphic curves echo engraved portraits and archival illustration, a useful link for historical exhibitions and academic publishing.
