Linux Biolinum Slanted Bold Police

Linux Biolinum Slanted Bold by Philipp H. Poll is a free contemporary serif with a firm italic lean and broad, open forms. Its changing stroke widths and softly flared endings give the lettering a lively humanist profile, with crisp joins and distinctive asymmetry across the letterforms.

Publishing is an especially good setting for its combination of authority and motion, making it useful for magazine departments, cover lines, and cultural programs. The generous curves also suit identity work for bookshops and arts organizations. It has the poised movement of editorial italic lettering, so it can connect literary subjects with contemporary page design.
