Octavian™ Italic is a classic roman design by British artisans Will Carter (a fine printer) and David Kindersley (a stonecutter). For their 1962 release for Monotype, the talented duo put their lettercutting and calligraphic skills to good use. Octavian Italic is a sublime contemporary take on classical inscriptional letters, adapted expertly to meet the needs of modern typographers. Crafting narrower forms and heavier weights, Carter and Kindersley combined the best of history and technology in these noble types. Originally intended as a fine book face, Octavian Italic shimmers in text settings, and is majestic in display typography. Character Set: Latin-1
