Designed by Jovica Veljovic, an accomplished calligrapher, ITC Esprit blends the classic proportions of typeface design with the grace and charm of a calligraphic style. The typeface features a wedge serif and its calligraphic origin is shown in the tapered terminal in the "R," as well as the rounded terminals of the "a," "c," "f," "r," and "y." This influence is even more evident in the italic versions, where the "g" and ""y" show the calligrapher's hand.
Highly readable in small point sizes, ITC Esprit can also be used as an impressive display face for use with sans serif text.
ITC Esprit is available in four weights: book, medium, bold, black, each with a corresponding italic version.
The book and medium weights also include small caps and oldstyle figures.
