More about this family

About the family


Cattivo is a frontier-proof slab-serif typeface that feels at home in your favorite Spaghetti Western. With horizontal stress, sleek curves, and contemporary proportions, it is a tongue-in-cheek reinterpretation of the Italienne genre. Reduced contrast and advanced typographic features make it suitable for both display use and short segments of body text. Independently drawn italics—dynamic and inspired by handwriting—add to the versatility. The full family provides a set almost 700 glyphs in 9 weights plus 9 italics. It is optimized for print and digital use. Book this ride on the steam train. Start exploring uncharted territories. With Cattivo, you too will be ready for the next gold rush.
