About

Meursault Italic spans 40 static styles and a variable font, covering widths from Ultra Condensed to Ultra Extended at weights from Thin to Black. Designed as a true italic rather than a sloped roman, it features softer curves than its historical references, lending it a more structured feel. It supports an extensive range of Latin-script languages including Vietnamese, Welsh and numerous regional European varieties.

Classification

A true italic companion to the upright Meursault, drawing on early 20th-century type styles shaped by the Arts and Crafts movement. Its softened, smoother curves give it a more structured and refined character than its historical models.
