Italian type foundry making sharp, well-built fonts with serious attention to detail.

Pros

  • Trial license is available
  • High-quality serif and sans families built for text-heavy use
  • Custom font design and modification services available

Cast is an independent Italian type foundry with a sharp focus on editorial, publishing, and identity work. Their fonts lean refined and purposeful, often with a typographic voice that feels academic without being stiff. There is a lot of attention on readability, rhythm, and detail. These are not loud showpiece fonts. They are built to handle long-form content and structured brand systems with polish.

The catalog includes thoughtful serif families like Sole Serif and Orpheus, alongside clean sans designs like Brevier and Quieta. Most releases come with extensive character sets, true italics, stylistic alternates, and support for multiple languages. The quality is consistent across the board. Weights are well balanced, optical sizes are available where needed, and the spacing feels dialed in for both print and screen work.

Cast also offers custom font services and modifications if you need something adjusted or built from scratch. Licensing is straightforward and clearly laid out. The tone of the foundry feels grounded and detail-oriented, which matches the fonts themselves. If you are building a book, editorial platform, or identity that needs typographic range without trying too hard, Cast is worth a serious look.
