Note. Specimen of the typeface Basilica. Copyright by Kimera.

Based on Greek and Cyrillic letters used in the bosom of Eastern Christianity, especially those used in famous Gospel manuscripts and bold stained glass windows, Basilica's letters were developed with a certain Byzantine flavor that is reflected in its name. If to this high inspiration we add the no less transcendent one of pure geometry and electronic mathematical curves, the result is a font of elevated personality, divided into two versions according to the play of its curves and angles, which complement each other without detriment to harmony.
