About TorniaiSansUT Typeface HeavyItalic PC (archived)

TorniaiSansUT Heavy Italic was the slanted companion to the Heavy weight 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 Windows (PC), sold as a single font. Heavy weights have thick, dark strokes and are made for impact rather than long reading – headlines, posters, packaging and short display lines. The italic adds a sense of movement, often used for energetic titles, sports-style graphics or strong emphasis.

Torniai Sans came in five weights – Light, Regular, Bold, Heavy and Black – each with a matching italic, plus a family pack, Mac editions and an old-style figures version (TorniaiSansOsfUT).

Unifonts sold around 1,100 fonts in Type 1 and TrueType formats. Its website is no longer online, so this font can no longer be licensed. This page is kept as a historical record.
