Italiko fonts from Luca Bolognese - (nktka)
Italiko is a calligraphic font. The letters have been hand-drawn individually to extract the common strokes. The strokes have then been re-composed to give the font a more unified appearance.
It comes in Black, Bold, Regular, and Thin. The Thin version is different as the extreme contrast in the font makes the thinner lines disappear. It is likely best used as a display font.
There are ligatures for the combination of letters that can be written more quickly by using a single stroke and letters that are slightly different from the ‘Italic canon.’
You can select which one to use in your application (i.e., Word) using combinations of italic/bold:
- No selection -> Regular
- Bold -> Bold
- Italic -> Thin
- Bold Italic -> Black
If you end up using the font, get in touch at https://github.com/lucabol/Italiko. Feel free to suggest improvements or let me know if you encounter problems.
