Type Design for the Fino Font Family

A Didone built for fashion's drama and editorial's range

Fino is a contemporary Didone display type system designed by Ermin Međedović and published by TypeTogether in 2016. It comprises three subfamilies—Fino, Fino Sans, and Fino Stencil—each offering six weights with italics and two optical sizes (Title and standard). The family targets editorial and fashion contexts, amplifying the theatricality of the Didone genre while covering Latin-based languages including Eastern European accents.

Insights

Narrow default proportions create a dense rhythm of bold stems; uppercase alternates for C, D, G, O, and Q swap those ovals for wider, rounder forms to shift visual texture.
Two optical sizes per style—Title cuts finer hairlines for large-scale settings; the system also supports shorter-text use down to 24 pt.
The system spans serif, sans, and stencil subfamilies sharing the same weight and italic structure, enabling cross-subfamily palette building.
Discretionary ligatures and multiple stylistic sets provide additional compositional variation within a single style.
