Hypolita is a serif typeface designed by type designer Mark Simonson. It was released in 2005 with the intention of recreating the elegant, classic look of 19th-century typefaces while still maintaining a modern, contemporary twist. The font features tall ascenders and a relatively large x-height, making it highly legible in both print and digital media. Hypolita also comes equipped with a range of ligatures and alternate characters, providing designers with ample opportunity for creative expression. The typeface supports a wide range of languages and is ideal for use in editorial design, branding, and advertising.
