About the family


The Vitruv typeface collection is a modern interpretation of French Renaissance Antiquas with their masterpieces of the 15th and 16th centuries. The family combines the elegance of timeless work of Garamond and Plantijn with the robustness and versatility requirements of contemporary graphic design. Guided by the principles of ideal proportions and the principles of the ancient architect Vitruvius, Firmitas (Firmness), Utilitas (Utility), and Venustas (Beauty), the typeface collection extends into three subfamilies.

Vitruv Poster is designed for large headlines with an elegant appearance. With its tight spacing, it creates a timeless, elegant look in large font sizes. Vitruv Headline is aimed at users looking for a universal stroke weight, between the robust forms of the Text family and the fine details of the Poster family. The Text family is optimized for body text, as its name suggests. With its rugged construction and open shapes, it offers optimal readability in small font sizes.

With its wide range of styles and subfamilies, Vitruv can be used in a variety of design applications. Ranging from editorial design to brand identities, it is equipped for all areas of typesetting and modern graphic design requiring a timeless, trustworthy and elegant voice.
