About
Ultramarina occupies the space between Victorian wood display letters and the Scotch Roman style, intended for large-scale headlines with an old-fashioned, cheerful character. The 2025 redesign brought improved letterforms and broader language support, expanding the glyph set to 797 characters. OpenType features include swash uppercase, small capitals, discretionary ligatures and fraction variants.
Classification
A display serif sitting between nineteenth-century wood type and Scotch Roman, with decorative OpenType features such as swash uppercase. Its single weight and large-headline orientation place it firmly in the display category.
