It combines well with other grotesque-inspired typefaces like Titling Gothic and Salvo, or with sturdy serif typefaces like Benton Modern. It also works as a reader-friendly alternative when setting longer passages of monospaced text. Optimized for font-sizes down to 11 px, Nitti is well-suited for code samples or technical notes, where a more handsome and contemporary atmosphere is desired. 19th century shapes lend Nitti its humanity and warmth. Unlike many monospaced typefaces, Nitti does not feel mechanical, but approachable and contemporary. Owing to this use, the small preliminary family was expanded and thoroughly optimized for screen rendering. This monospaced face, the first entry in the family, is best known for its prominent role in the popular iA Writer desktop and iOS writing applications. According to Nitti designer Pieter van Rosmalen, “the quirky and often idiosyncratic shapes of these early English sans-serifs lend them the humanity and warmth still appreciated among many graphic designers today.” Nitti and Nitti Grotesk were used by Volta Studio for the Porto Academy identity in 2018. Named after Francesco Raffaele Nitto-better known as Frank “The Enforcer” Nitti, one of the henchmen of Al Capone-the original monospaced typeface pays homage to the Grotesque sans-serifs of the early 19th century.
Here, we’re looking at the four groups of styles within this family and what makes them so irresistible. Since its initial release in the early 2010s, the Nitti family has grown to include four typefaces and has been used for everything from the popular iA Writer app to the LeBron 11 shoe microsite. Thanks to its versatility and style, the Nitti family by Bold Monday has become a modern classic.
