About TorniaiSansUT Typeface HeavyItalic Mac (archived)

TorniaiSansUT Heavy Italic for Mac was the slanted Heavy style of the Torniai Sans type family, a sans-serif typeface sold by Unifonts (also known as Unitype), a small font vendor run by Victor de Castro from Monroe, New York.

This page covers the Heavy Italic style for Macintosh, sold as a single font. Its thick, forward-leaning strokes were built for impact – magazine headlines, posters, packaging and promotional graphics where a title needs energy and weight.

Torniai Sans came in five weights – Light, Regular, Bold, Heavy and Black – each with an italic, sold for both Mac and Windows, plus family packs and an old-style figures version (TorniaiSansOsfUT).

Unifonts' website is no longer online, so this font can no longer be licensed. This page is kept as a historical record.
