Dionisio FONT Download
Designer: Jason Castle
Publisher: CastleType
Dionisio, a CastleType original, takes its inspiration from one of the overlooked treasures of the CastleType library: Ransahoff. The latter is extremely condensed and very elegant. I particularly like its hairline slab serifs and cross-bars. I decided to use it as a starting point for a new design, but to make the proportions more classic and to make it more sensuous with gentler curves and bracketed cross-bar serifs.
The result is very Bodoni-like, but less extreme and more contemporary looking. Meanwhile,
Dionisio maintains a hint of Ransahoff with condensed letterforms and very fine serifs.
Dionisio brings together the best of both, making it the perfect choice where a slender, sophisticated typeface is needed.
Includes an extensive character set and OpenType features.
