Author's note

Palermo Bold by B and P Graphics is a free serif font defined by a broad, top-heavy silhouette and deep overhanging serifs that give the lettering a carved sign quality. The repeated rounded joins and blunt horizontal emphasis make the design feel weighty and theatrical rather than bookish.

That kind of mass makes sense on restaurant branding, wine labels, poster headlines, packaging, and storefront graphics where a classic serif needs more presence than restraint. Short titles and names benefit most, especially in layouts that can use those projecting caps and compact arches as part of the visual rhythm.
