About

Pallada's letterforms draw from wide brush calligraphy, producing a freestyle, flowing quality distinguished by one-sided serifs that give the design an informal yet structured character. The family ships in four styles and suits display use in book covers, poster headlines and promotional material. An upgraded version with an extended character set was released in 2015.

Classification
