The family spans 27 styles, offering a substantial range for editorial and display applications. Its classical references are channelled into a typeface built for contemporary headline use.
Classification
The name 'Ferrum' (Latin for iron) and 'Taurunum' (the ancient name for Belgrade) suggest a display serif with historical or architectural references, likely with sharp, structured letterforms suited to headline use.
