Benevento

Benevento font by David F. Nalle is a free retro serif font. It has that inky, storybook swagger—chunky strokes, sharp little spurs, and soft, swelling curves that make the wordmark feel carved from an old sign or pressed into paper. The rhythm is lively and a bit mischievous, so even short headlines come out with instant character.

Using Benevento, you’ll get punchy results on posters, book covers, vintage logos, craft-beverage labels, event flyers, podcast artwork, and storefront signage. This free font likes room to breathe, so set it a touch larger and don’t cram the spacing. Pair it with a clean, low-drama sans for subheads to keep the retro flair from getting too loud.
