Vercetti is a computer font distributed for free (as freeware), designed by Greek graphic designer Filippos Fragkogiannis in collaboration with type designer Richard Mandona.[3][4]

Vercetti Regular was inspired by humanistic and geometric design elements.[5] When creating Vercetti, the designers used principles from an earlier open-source font called MgOpen Moderna.[6][7]

Very well crafted. It has great proportions and it proves to work in various sizes, assuring a good readability. It has an innovative feel, through the slightly squared-shaped that makes it distinct. I could imagine it to be used for a brand in the automotive industry.
