About
Missive Serif is defined by its highly stylised serif details: dramatic flares, gooey ball terminals, and flowing calligraphic-like joins that draw on Art Nouveau roots. Its tall x-height and narrow proportions make it best suited to graphic, large-scale applications. Released in 2026 by Emily Klaebe via Future Fonts, where it continues to expand toward a full five-style family.
