Unna, designed by Jorge de Buen U. of Omnibus-Type, is a free high-contrast serif font with an elegant, literary bearing. Fine hairlines meet broad, gently bracketed serifs and generous rounded curves.
Its bookish, classical character suits publishing, cultural branding, and formal event materials, particularly for institutions drawn to restrained typography and traditional references. In these settings, the sweeping curves and crisp serifs can connect typography with engraved borders, archival photography, botanical illustration, and other historically minded imagery without making the design feel like a period reproduction.
Unna is the surname of the mother of its type designer, Jorge de Buen. Her soft look is expressed through delicated serifs and strong stems, that accentuating the typical neoclassical vertical texture.
