Bello is a brush typeface for headline point sizes - it's big & beautiful!

Bello has lots of ligatures and start and ending swashes. Besides the automatic ligatures, Bello has many more OpenType features.

After a period of hand sketching and lettering, we decided to give Bello two main styles: script and (small) caps. These two fonts create a strong typographic contrast - while Bello Script is flourished and flowing, Bello Caps is upright and sturdy. As sturdy as brush lettering allows for, of course.

Careful spacing and kerning ensures that Bello appears like fluently written handwriting. However, that's not enough for a hand-lettered feel. Therefore Bello is equipped with ore than 60 ligatures, creating a more intimate, natural impression. For the same reasons we have added a few ornaments and a set of snap-on beginning and ending swashes which attach to the lowercase letters of Bello.

To view the fonts, browse the online examples on this section, or try Bello yourself. One of the best way to see examples of the Bello typeface is to download the extensive Bello PDFs and print them out.

Don't forget, Bello is a typographic mate of Sauna. Bello’s PDFs contain some examples where these two font families are combined.
