Quattrocento
Named for the fifteenth century and drawn from it, but with the counters opened up and the spacing loosened for screens rather than for a hand press. The result is an old-style that stays legible at 14px, which most faithful revivals of that period do not. Regular and bold, and there is a sans of the same name built to sit beside it.

}Questions
- Is Quattrocento free for commercial use?
- Yes. Quattrocento is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Quattrocento in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Quattrocento belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Impallari Type. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Quattrocento?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 2 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Quattrocento support Turkish?
- No. Quattrocento covers Latin, but not the extra characters Türkçe needs — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ and ş. Text set in it would come out with missing or wrong letters.
- What languages does Quattrocento support?
- Quattrocento covers Latin, across 249 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- What weights does Quattrocento come in?
- Quattrocento comes in 2 weights: Regular (400) and Bold (700). Each weight is its own file in the download.
- Where can I download Quattrocento as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is quattrocento.woff2, and it is about 42 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
