Galien

From Black[Foundry]

Galien is a modern serif font family inspired by the French Renaissance, blending Old Style models into a contemporary digital design. Rooted in the shift from Blackletter to Humanist, it revives a period rather than a single typeface, with italics influenced by Venetian types of the sixteenth century. Tuned for body copy yet elegant in display, its eight styles include a high-contrast Poster cut. A comprehensive character set supports Latin, Cyrillic, numerals, fractions, currencies, and more.
