Titillium began as a teaching project inside the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, on the type design course of the Master of Visual Design Campi Visivi. The aim was a collective typeface released under the OFL, and each academic year a dozen students work on it, develop it further and fix problems.
Prof. Luciano Perondi handled design and curation, with Prof. Marcello Signorile coordinating, Prof. Manuel Zanettin supervising the web project and Diego Giusti drawing the first prototype. The family covers Latin and Latin Extended. The project asks designers who use Titillium to email examples of it in use, to build a case history database.
The ZIP contains 11 static TTF files in six weights from ExtraLight to Black, with italics for most of them. Google Fonts added the family in October 2012.

Font pairings
Titillium Web has squared curves and a technical feel, so a calmer text face helps. Open Sans and Source Serif 4 both keep long text comfortable, and Oswald adds a condensed headline option.
Licence & credit
Titillium Web is designed by Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino and released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. That makes it free for personal and commercial use: logos, packaging, websites, apps, videos and print. You can bundle it in your own projects and modify it. You cannot sell the font files by themselves, and the licence text stays with them. Our guide to the SIL Open Font License explains what that means in practice. The family is also on Google Fonts and its source is on the project page.
