Titania by Richard William Mueller is a free high-contrast serif from 1993 with a lush, slightly storybook flavor. The letters mix sharp, sweeping serifs with soft, swelling curves, so the font feels formal at first glance but never stiff.
That makes this free font a natural pick for book covers, magazine cover lines, posters, boutique branding, and title cards where a little theatrical grace helps. It also works well for short headlines and monogram-like initials, because those broad curves and tapered joins give even a few letters a strong decorative presence.
