Alfios Italic by George Douros is a free high-contrast serif font with the poised sweep of formal italic lettering. Broad capitals, fine hairlines, and tapered curves give the design a stately profile, while the smaller forms retain forward motion.
Editorial titles are its most convincing role, especially for literary features that benefit from an elegant classical note. It also suits book covers and cultural event posters, where the pronounced slant lends movement without losing formality. Fashion branding and premium packaging suit its graceful flourishes.
Lowercase upright Greek were designed in 1805 by Firmin Didot (1764 1836) and cut by Walfard and Vibert. The typeface, together with a complete printing house, was donated in 1821 to the new Greek state by Didots son, Ambroise Firmin Didot (1790 1876). Lowercase italic Greek were designed in 1802 by Richard Porson (1757 1808) and cut by Richard Austin. They were first used by Cambridge University Press in 1810. Capitals, Latin and Cyrillic, as well as the complete bold weights, have been designed in an attempt to create a well-balanced font. The font covers the Windows Glyph List, Greek Extended, various typographic extras and some Open Type features (Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures); it is available in regular, italic, bold and bold italic.
