About Kalliope Font Family


Named for the “Golden-Voiced” Muse of Epic Poetry, Kalliope is a flare serif in five weights inspired by classical letterforms. Kalliope supports Latin, Cyrillic, and both Mono- and Polytonic Greek.

Great for uses from display all the way to large text, Kalliope is packed full of stylistic alternates, discretionary ligatures, and a slew of ornaments and borders!

About The Ampersand Forest

The Ampersand Forest is DC Scarpelli. And probably vice versa. I am a wholly inveterate Type Nerd. I’ve been in love with letterforms my whole life, and, for 16 years, I taught type history, type design, and typography as a college professor. Type is voice, and I love giving people a voice. A variety of voices, actually, so that they can choose whichever one is best for them for a particular context. And I don’t just mean designers, either! Type’s for everyone, and every typeface has a purpose and context.For me, deliciousness—flavor—is key. Not all type has to be “good type,” whatever that means. It should be designed with thought and care and craft. It should be supremely usable. But it should aim beyond usability toward (trust me: this is the right word) yumminess.
