Antikythera Outline Italic Font

Antikythera Outline Italic, designed in 2012 by Iconian Fonts, is a free Greek-inspired outlined display font with a hard, aggressive slant. Its tall capitals are cut into sharp wedges, with broken inner strokes and lightning-like notches. The silhouette feels fast and mechanical.

Designers working in action sports and science-fiction entertainment will find it useful for game title screens and team merchandise. Those severe angles can echo armor, machinery, or electric effects in accompanying artwork. Festival posters and heavy metal album covers offer another convincing home for its jagged forms.

A title font named after the Antikythera mechanism, which was found off the coast of a Greek island several decades ago. Historians describe the device as a precise calculation instrument and the first real computer. Similar functionality and engineering would not be seen again for several centuries.

Antikythera includes a complete Latin character set.
