Description
Miltonian is a striking display font, designed to evoke the elegant literary style of its namesake. With roots in historical typography from the 17th century, Miltonian draws inspiration from the time when John Milton wrote his celebrated works like Paradise Lost and Areopagitica. The font features distinctively elongated letters, serifs that mirror the decorative details found in the era's printed materials, and a slightly condensed design to fit more text within a given space. With its ornate yet readable character, Miltonian is perfect for creating an air of authority and sophistication in designs that require a touch of history and literary grandeur.
