About
Designed with book and long-form text as its primary purpose, Delicato Pro draws on a traditional serif foundation while introducing contemporary details that also suit more decorative contexts. The family spans four styles — Regular, Italic, Medium and Bold — with the three principal weights offering full small caps support. Each font includes proportional and tabular lining and oldstyle figures, ligatures, alternates and ornaments.
Classification
A text-oriented serif with traditional foundations and modern detailing, designed for book and long-form setting. Its acknowledgement of Tankard's Enigma and van Blokland's Proforma places it in the refined transitional serif tradition.
