Lirico specimen from TYPE BY

A 24-style serif superfamily split across two subfamilies — Lirico and Lirico Press — each spanning six weights with italics.

About

Lirico comes in two subfamilies: the standard Lirico and Lirico Press, each offering six weights from ExtraLight to Black with matching italics, totalling 24 styles. Both subfamilies share a broad set of OpenType features including small capitals, oldstyle and tabular figures, fractions and stylistic sets. The Press subfamily appears tuned for demanding text conditions, while the standard Lirico offers additional stylistic alternates and sets suited to display or editorial work.

Classification

The specimen text referencing punchcutters and 16th-century type history, combined with the name Lirico and the presence of a 'Press' subfamily, suggests a text-oriented serif with historical influences. The range of weights and italic cuts is consistent with a transitional or humanist serif design.
