About
Bona Nova balances classical serif warmth with practical text legibility, making it well suited to long-form reading in books, academic journals, and multilingual publications. Its Cyrillic and Greek character sets are carefully drawn rather than mechanically derived, giving the font credibility for serious typographic work across scripts. The regular and bold weights cover most text hierarchy needs capably.
