Frederic Bold Italic by Matthieu Lonton is a free bold italic sans serif with an assertive forward lean and broad, tightly fitted forms. Its uppercase letters are especially expansive, with clean curves and blunt, level endings. The lowercase is more compact and quick-moving.
Sports, speed, and contemporary urban culture are convincing themes for event posters, athletic branding, and music merchandise, where the slant gives names and phrases an immediate sense of motion. It also suits magazine cover lines and energetic packaging, linked by the same oversized proportions and forceful diagonal drive.
