Certified Italic

Certified Italic font by Dieter Schumacher is a free sans serif typeface that feels like a handshake between script and modern sans. Its letters lean forward with an easy, handwritten tilt, but the strokes stay clean, even, and sharply cut, giving every word a sense of motion without losing clarity. The curves feel smooth and inky, while the straight lines keep things grounded, so your text looks confident rather than fussy.

Using Certified Italic, you get a rare italic style that carries whole headlines and short paragraphs on its own, making it a natural fit for logos, product packaging, editorial pull quotes, magazine covers, posters, and social media graphics. This free font shines when you need emphasis with personality instead of just “bold.” Pair Certified Italic with a simple upright sans for body text, and let this lively italic handle all the expressive moments in your layout.
