Frederic Italic by Matthieu Lonton is a free italic sans serif with a sleek editorial profile. Its steep slant is immediately noticeable. Tall capitals, open lowercase forms, and changing stroke widths give the lettering a refined, fashion-minded edge.
Magazine design is its clearest setting, especially for cover lines and section openers that benefit from its long forward motion. It also suits fragrance packaging and upscale event posters, where the slim shapes suggest elegance rather than weight. In publishing, the assertive angle can turn a masthead into a recognizable signature.
