Author's note

Milan Greek, Ralph Hancock's free Greek display font, borrows the mood of classical lettering but relaxes it into something more conversational. The letters mix sturdy, softly flared strokes with rounded bowls and a few distinctly Hellenic turns, so the font feels part inscription, part poster title.

It suits museum graphics, cafe branding, book jackets, event posters, and packaging that wants a Mediterranean or antiquarian note without going full replica. As a free font, it works best where a short line can carry the style - title cards, cover lines, and initials especially - because those Greek cues come through quickly and give even simple words a clear historical accent.
