About Quattrocento Fonts

Classic, elegant, sober and strong, the Quattrocento typeface has wide and open letterforms. The generous x-height makes it very legible for body text at small sizes, while the tiny details can only be seen at larger sizes mean it is also a great choice for display typography.

Some of their distinctive characteristics are:

  • Low Contrast. The thins are just a tad thiner than the thicks, almost monotone.
  • Cupped, tapered stems that flows naturally into the serifs.
  • Distinctive K, R and & tail.
  • Cupped B, D, E, F, P, Q, R and T.
  • The Q is a humble expression of admiration and gratitude for Doyald Young.
  • Alternate M, Two W alternates.
  • Narrow L, T for better fit.
  • Almost flat top serif on the lowercases.
  • Shoulders of the m and n rise above the serif.
  • Serif-less bottom j and y.

It's the perfect sans-serif companion for Quattrocento Sans.
