Lydian sample text

Lydian is a typeface designed by Warren Chappell for American Type Founders in 1938. While the twisted letter designs (most notably in the rounded capitals C, G, O, and Q) suggest a calligraphic style, this is considered a sans-serif font. It is available in bold, italic, and condensed varieties.

It is used by the International Baccalaureate Organization in their document section headings.
