About Cardo

Cardo by David Perry is a scholarly serif typeface designed specifically for classical philology, biblical studies, and ancient language typography, with remarkable script coverage that includes Greek with polytonic diacritics, Hebrew, Gothic, Old Italic, and Runic alongside standard Latin. Its proportions and letterforms draw on the Renaissance humanist tradition, providing the gravitas appropriate to academic and liturgical texts. For editors, classicists, and typographers working with ancient scripts, it is one of the few typefaces designed with these precise scholarly requirements in mind.
