Lock Serif brings the elegance of traditional calligraphy into a contemporary serif design. Its sharp, assertive shapes offer a bold contrast to smoother, calligraphic curves, making it ideal for editorial, branding, and display use.

Lock Serif is available in six weights – ranging from ExtraLight to Black – and is optimised for larger sizes but maintains readability in smaller text. It includes alternates for characters like ‘Q’ and ‘R,’ along with arrows, circled numbers, as well as alternate comma and quotes. The character set covers most Latin-based languages. Lock Serif can be seamlessly interchanged with Lock Serif Stencil without causing text to reflow, ensuring design flexibility.

Designed to make a strong impression, Lock Serif combines sharpness and grace, offering an elegant yet bold tone suitable for those seeking a unique blend of tradition and modern design.

Lock Serif is part of the larger Lock family – a collection designed by Mark Bloom and Diana Ovezea, which explores the balance between broad-nib calligraphy and industrial design. Lock is available in Sans and Serif variants, each with its playful stencil companion.
