Author's note

Luxi Serif Bold Oblique, designed by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow of Bigelow & Holmes, is a free high-contrast serif font. Broad, slanted letters combine thick strokes, fine hairlines, and sharply tapered details.

Editorial design suits its assured, formal appearance, especially for magazine covers and dramatic pull quotes. It also brings a tailored edge to fashion branding, event posters, and premium packaging. The sweeping curves and crisp serifs can echo the strong diagonals of fashion photography or angular product illustrations.
