Lira is a font that takes inspiration from the lettercutting techniques used in Italian Lira coins, as well as the work of type designer Berthold Wolpe, especially his font families for Pegasus and Albertus.
The font is a display typeface suitable for longer settings of title and subtitle copy, with increased contrast and weight shifts.
