Tempo Esperanto Kursiva is a free italic serif font with stately, high-contrast forms and a formal air. Broad capitals tower over the finer lowercase. Long entry strokes and sweeping tails give the lettering an elegant flourish.
Fashion and luxury are its clearest territory in magazine covers and fragrance packaging. Its poised slant also suits wedding invitations and classical concert programs, echoing engraved lettering. Magazine display work is its most convincing use thanks to the commanding capitals and graceful movement.
