Author's note

Alfios Bold Italic by George Douros is a free high-contrast serif font with an emphatic classical slant. Broad capitals combine substantial strokes with fine hairlines and sharply cut serifs. The lowercase is compact and lively.

Its sweeping curves echo engraved flourishes or fashion illustration, making it useful for editorial covers and luxury packaging. The pronounced angle also suits theatrical posters and formal invitations when the lettering needs movement. Tapered strokes and dramatic joins can turn the type into part of an ornamental border or illustrated title.

Description
Lowercase upright Greek were designed in 1805 by Firmin Didot (1764  1836) and cut by Walfard and Vibert. The typeface, together with a complete printing house, was donated in 1821 to the new Greek state by Didots son, Ambroise Firmin Didot (1790  1876). Lowercase italic Greek were designed in 1802 by Richard Porson (1757  1808) and cut by Richard Austin. They were first used by Cambridge University Press in 1810. Capitals, Latin and Cyrillic, as well as the complete bold weights, have been designed in an attempt to create a well-balanced font. The font covers the Windows Glyph List, Greek Extended, various typographic extras and some Open Type features (Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures); it is available in regular, italic, bold and bold italic.
