Empiric Roman

Empiric Roman font by rzy/SD is a free retro serif font. Its crisp, carved strokes and stately Roman proportions give words the weight of an old title page or a name cut into stone, yet the rhythm stays open and graceful instead of feeling stiff.

Using Empiric Roman works beautifully for book covers, museum posters, wine labels, film titles, heritage branding, upscale menus, and packaging with a ceremonial mood. Set Empiric Roman large so the letterforms can breathe, then pair this free font with a quiet modern sans for captions or body copy.
