Eska

Capitalics Warsaw Type Foundry released Eska on 1 September 2026, a digitization of a display alphabet Maria Eska drew in 1975 as a fifth-year student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, in a course led by Roman Tomaszewski. Originally titled Rugby, it is round, heavy and a little cartoonish, with the bouncy geometry typical of 1970s poster lettering. Mateusz Machalski led the revival for the design's fiftieth anniversary, with Małgorzata Bartosik contributing drawings, and shipped two versions: Eska Original, faithful to the 1975 artwork, and Eska Neue, reworked for modern typesetting. Both are free, and these similar free display fonts can be loaded straight from a CDN.

Two thousand years of letterforms boil down to a handful of decisions — width, weight, proportion. Pick a pair you trust, and let the rest take care of itself.

Letters that hold their nerve
Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.
