About Antique Olive
Antique Olive is a classic sans-serif typeface designed by Roger Excoffon and originally released by Fonderie Olive in the 1960s. It is distinctive for its high visual weight concentrated in the upper portion of its letterforms, reversing traditional typographic weight distribution. This unique structure gives the font a dynamic, expressive character with strong horizontal flow and recognizable counters, distinguishing it from standard neo-grotesque typefaces.
Because of its prominent personality and striking visual presence, Antique Olive performs exceptionally well in display uses such as headlines, posters, logo designs, and editorial layouts. While its lighter weights can be used for short blocks of text, its bolder styles are most effective when given room to command attention. As a classic proprietary typeface, it is subject to standard commercial licensing.
