What happens when Baskerville grows a backbone.

Grafier

Grafier isn’t here to romanticize the past—it’s here to reshape it. Inspired by the refined legacy of 18th-century Baskerville, Grafier takes the structure of a classic serif and reengineers it for a sharper, more digital-first age. It’s heritage, hacked.

The most striking feature? Those unapologetically straight serifs, cutting in with zero curves, clean joins, and ruthless precision. Add in flag-terminals, chopped curves, and squarish punctuation, and you've got a serif that doesn’t whisper elegance—it delivers it like a punchline. Grafier comes in 10 styles: five weights from Regular to Black, each in two contrast variations. Whether you want the stark brutality of the high-contrast cuts or the smooth, low-contrast workhorses, it’s all there—plus a variable font for full control across two axes. Despite its toughness, Grafier plays well with others. Its straight-sided letterforms make it an ideal companion to sans-serifs—especially in modern branding, editorial systems, and UI where tradition needs a fresh face. And when you’re working at display sizes, Grafier is fully in its element. Even in smaller settings, the low-contrast styles hold up, and readability gets a boost with stylistic alternates that disconnect the serifs—another nod to its thoughtful, adaptable design. Grafier is old-school form with a new-school attitude. Less ornamental, more architectural. Designed for the grid, not the gilded frame.

Classic Bones. Modern Blade.

Grafier is a serif typeface that rethinks classic design in the digital era. The original source of inspiration was good old Baskerville, an English typeface from the 18th century ● But Grafier went its own way and got some unique new features. The most obvious one is uncompromisingly straight serifs, which join inside the letters ▲ This brutal linearity is also supported by distinctive flag-terminals, chopped shapes and squarish punctuation.

The family consists of 10 styles: five weights from Regular to Black in two contrast variations. All the styles are also available as one variable font with two axes ■ Straight letter shapes makes Grafier a good pair for sans serif fonts. The typeface works perfectly in big and medium sizes; low-contrast styles are suitable for short texts as well. In such cases the readability can be improved by using stylistic alternatives that disconnect serifs.
