Silvana Text

Transitional roots, contemporary proportions

Silvana Text is a contemporary serif typeface designed by Siri Lee Lindskrog and released in 2024. Its development was grounded in research into 19th-century transitional typefaces, blending Old Style pen influence with modern refinement. Modest contrast and wider proportions make it suited to longform setting, while an alternate glyph set—featuring ink-like spurs on horizontal serifs and diagonal strokes—adds expressive range. The italic palette emphasises calligraphic energy through steep turns, deep junctions, and dynamic end strokes.
