A six-style humanist text serif by Veronika Burian, balancing expressive glyph irregularities with high-quality legibility suited to demanding print settings.
About
Maiola offers three weights – Regular, Book and Bold – each with a matching italic, giving six styles in total. Purposeful irregularities in its letterforms introduce a lively, dynamic quality without compromising readability at text sizes. The design aims to reconcile typographic tradition with a more expressive contemporary sensibility, and its usage spans books, magazines and web contexts.
Classification
Maiola is a contemporary humanist serif intended for text setting, combining expressive personality with careful attention to legibility. Its subtle glyph irregularities and dynamic spirit place it in the humanist serif tradition rather than a stricter classical or transitional model.
