Author's note

Lione by Manuele Mascheroni is a free outlined Art Deco display font built from exceptionally tall, very slender capitals. Hairline contours and severe vertical strokes give the letters an architectural, almost wireframe appearance. Diagonals cut through the design with crisp economy.

It suits designers working in fashion, nightlife, and culture, where elegant lettering can also feel slightly experimental. Posters and event graphics gain a refined period reference from the narrow proportions and stripped-back geometry. In editorial covers and boutique branding, the skeletal outlines can echo linear illustration, metalwork, or the fine rules of a carefully drawn border and technical drafting tools.
