Nilland-ExtraBold

Nilland ExtraBold by Manfred Klein is a free serif font defined by tall vertical strokes, firm square serifs, and a dark sign-like silhouette. That repeated structure gives the lettering a carved, poster-ready presence, while the rounded lowercase forms keep it from feeling stiff.

It makes sense on book covers, poster titles, mastheads, packaging, and cafe or bar signage where a compact, authoritative serif can carry short text. The strong vertical rhythm gives headlines a steady block of texture, so it is especially convincing in branding and editorial display settings that want something classic without turning formal.
