Why you should consider Artigo
Preview and purchase Artigo on MyFonts: https://www.myfonts.com/collections/artigo-font-nova-type-foundry. Designed by Joana Correia and published by Nova Type Foundry, Artigo is an old-style serif system created for continuous text. The family spans Light to ExtraBold with matching italics, making it well suited to extended reading and editorial typography.
Visual character
Artigo shows clear open counters and moderate stroke contrast that keep letterforms distinct at text sizes; many terminals finish on a subtle angle, a visual cue tied to its handwriting-inspired roots. The family includes true italics that mirror that hand-drawn rhythm, providing a lively yet restrained slant for emphasis. Overall the proportions prioritize readable word shapes and stable texture across weights, which helps sustain legibility in dense set matter.
Best use cases
- Magazine and journal body text (long runs of set type)
- Paperback and academic book interiors
- Long-form web articles and article pages
- Typographic posters and information-dense editorial spreads
Font pairing ideas
- Neutral grotesque sans for headings — a clean grotesque (straight terminals, higher x-height) contrasts Artigo’s old-style modulation and clarifies hierarchy for editorial layouts.
- Condensed humanist or geometric sans for UI/meta text — a narrower sans complements Artigo in tight spaces (captions, bylines) while preserving legibility and providing a modern counterpoint.
- A heavier serif display for emphatic headlines — pairing Artigo with a more assertive serif (display cut) keeps a tonal family feel while increasing headline presence without switching to a sans.
