Cinzel is a serif font that copies the look of Roman inscriptions. It is a free Google Font under the SIL Open Font License, so you can try it in Canva and Google Docs. The preview tool below shows its weights with your own text.

About the Cinzel font

Cinzel was designed by Natanael Gama. Its letters draw on Roman inscriptions from the first century, the kind carved into stone monuments. That history is why the font looks formal and a little old, even on a screen.

The family includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols and ligatures. Cinzel has six static weights, from Regular to Black, plus a variable file that covers the range in between. It has no italic. Cinzel Decorative is a separate family with extra flourishes on some letters.

Designers use Cinzel for branding, invitations, book covers, packaging and web headlines. The contrast between thick and thin strokes works best at larger sizes, so save it for titles and short lines.
