Arrogante
Zetafonts · Andrea Tartarelli, Mario De Libero, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini · 2024
A Bodoni and Didot-derived display serif with extreme stroke contrast, semi-condensed proportions and overlapping serifs, released in 2024 by three Zetafonts designers.
About
Arrogante spans seven weights from Monoline to Bold, with a companion sub-family, Arrogantissimo, narrowing the proportions further for tighter headlines and posters. The high x-height and overlapping serifs push the design towards aggressive luxury display rather than text setting, and a variable font covering both weight and width axes is included in the full package. OpenType features include discretionary ligatures and nine stylistic sets, giving designers room to adjust specific letterforms.
Classification
Arrogante draws directly from the Bodoni and Didot tradition, using extreme stroke contrast, razor-sharp serifs and semi-condensed proportions in a manner clearly intended for display use rather than text setting.
