Bellissima Script Pro Font

DOWNLOAD BELLISSIMA SCRIPT PRO FREE DOWNLOAD FONT NOW FREE!

While in the same vein and spirit as Burgues and Compendium, Bellissima began from an entirely different thread as those fonts. It started with Alex Trochut generously showing me a gorgeous lettering book from his grandfather�s library: Bellezas de la Caligraf�a, by Ram�n Stirling, 1844.

Stirling was one of the Latin calligraphy pioneers who introduced a refined version of English calligraphy in Spain and made it popular in the nineteenth century.

Mandevilla Font

DOWNLOAD MANDEVILLA FREE DOWNLOAD FONT NOW!

Creation of this typeface for titling, display, and logos was inspired by my exploration and drawing of forms found in nature. Refined, quiet and elegant, yet quirky enough to employ slim filaments that somehow are not faint of heart, Mandevilla is named for the verdant tropical vine. The sturdy plant has firm footing in the soil, then climbs, curving around trees, stretching toward the light, bridging earth and sky. Mandevilla began as a sans-serif, but its footing, in the form of tiny round lachrymal terminals, roots it and transforms it into a semi-serif. From there the tendrils spiral�especially in the uppercase letters, with their echoes of nautilus shells we held to our ears to hear the ocean�and embrace slender, airy ascenders that tenderly but determinedly rise heavenward.
