ITC Conduit was designed by Mark van Bronkhorst based on the letters on ordinary signage done by a non-professional.

Based on Roman inscriptions, Classic Roman is an all-capitals headline typeface with many similarities to Trajan. The Classic Roman font is an elegant choice for headlines for both classical and contemporary products.
Serlio has the character of a text face, but it is a small caps displaytype in place of lowercase letters. It has a narrow width and fine, delicate serifs and hairlines. With just a bit more flair than most text types modeled on the classic roman letters, Serlio contrasts well with old style typefaces.
