Taglio Font

Publisher: Wilton Foundry

Taglio's name is derived from intaglio, which implies "incised carving" or "an impression from an inscription".

Indeed, Taglio looks like an incised etching with a contemporary calligraphic interpretation. The down strokes start with a single horizontal line that curves into a double vertical line and ends with the very same single line at the base.

The dual elongated strokes produce a strong total impression however is actually twice as sophisticated than if the 2 lines were solid. That was exactly the objective in producing this font style. We handled to produce a typeface that is unique, classy, and crisp that is likewise purposefully stencilled for more flexibility. For example, it is ideal for laser cutting signage.

One of the distinct functions in using the capital glyphs is that they stack perfectly without losing legibility, mainly because of the inclined ends of the double vertical lines - see the example "Miami Fashion Week" display screen ad.

Taglio's uncommon style was carefully crafted to come to life at screen sizes. It is therefore perfect for usage in branding style, dining establishments, buildings, product packaging, museums, signs, etc.

An ideal pairing font style is our Werk family which can be seen in some of the images above. Taglio has a gleaming and sophisticated character that will absolutely delight!
