Limone comes from the work of Alexandre Michel. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Classicals classification, Limone features bracketed or hairline serifs terminating each stroke and modulated stroke contrast from axis of stress. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for long-form editorial and book typography.
