ITC Korinna - Description

Korinna is a German serif typeface that was released by the H. Berthold AG type foundry in 1904 during the Art Nouveau period of bold and disproportional shapes and nature inspired forms. Ed Benguiat and Vic Caruso brought this font back to life for the International Typeface Corporation (ITC) in 1974.This font was named after an ancient Greek female poet, Corinna, whose eloquently spoken words and beauty made her a muse to other ancient authors. This typeface has a playful and whimsical nature, and is widely used in advertisements, novel covers.
