Silene – Elegant Serif Typeface

Transform your creative projects with Silene, a refined and expressive serif typeface that captures the grace of 20th-century calligraphy and the precision of transitional design. With its commanding presence, delicate details, and modern proportions, Silene delivers timeless elegance for branding, editorial design, packaging, and visual storytelling.

Unleash the Power of Refined Typography

Designed for Impact, Crafted for Beauty

Silene combines a quiet, expansive x-height with sharp terminals and dramatic stroke contrast, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. The diagonal stress in the letterforms adds subtle motion and energy, making every word feel intentional and expressive. Whether you’re setting a fashion editorial headline or designing a luxury product label, Silene commands attention with quiet sophistication.

Roman and Italic – A Perfect Dynamic Pair

Each style in the Silene family delivers distinctive character:

  • Roman – Strong, balanced, and perfectly proportioned for titles and formal headings.
  • Italic – Fluid and expressive, ideal for emphasis, captions, and stylistic contrast.

Use Roman for authority and Italic for elegance—combine both to create visual hierarchy and narrative flow in your designs.
