Acuta was designed by Elena Albertoni and published by Anatoletype. Acuta contains 14 styles and family package options.  

Acuta is a new all-purpose text serif with a good readability and a contemporary, robust look thanks to its low-medium contrast. The differences between thicks and thins are less strongly marked than in oldstyle text faces; yet the diagonal stress needed to facilitate reading is partly provided by the letter shape itself: sharp angles and italic construction give the right dynamism to the text.

Acuta becomes very distinctive as a headline, while its big x-height makes it suitable for texts at rather small sizes too.

The family consists of seven weights & correspondent italics, with a large character set. The Book and Medium weights, relatively close to each other, can both be used as "plain" weight depending on the size of the text, background color or backlighting.

Small caps, oldstyle and tabular figure alternates, superiors and inferiors and ligatures are available in all styles through OpenType features.

The real italics include unobtrusive swash alternates to emphasise the written feeling.
