Emperatrix Display

Emperatrix Display is a typeface inspired by the elegant lettering found in the Palacio de Fuensalida, a historic landmark in Toledo, Spain. Known for its mix of Gothic and Mudéjar styles, this palace was once home to Empress Isabel of Portugal, adding a regal touch to its intricate stone and wood carvings.

 

Taking cues from the palace’s inscriptions, Emperatrix Display blends bold, refined strokes with classic details, capturing the grandeur of 16th-century Spanish craftsmanship. It’s designed to feel both historical and fresh, perfect for branding, editorial work, and display use.

 

Emperatrix Display brings a bit of Toledo’s timeless elegance and history into the modern world.
