Now check this, Underware’s blockbuster type, Bello.

Note from uploader: Bello Pro combines the separate fonts in Bello in one OpenType file. If you're like me, you will find it easier to just select the [standard] style you want, but when you're looking for more opentype features and alternates, use Pro...

Bello Pro is a brush typeface for headline point sizes - it’s big & beautiful. Bello has lots of ligatures and start and ending swashes. They are automatic in Bello Script Pro, which is a cross-platform OpenType font with many OpenType features.

Bello has Underware’s world-dominating Latin Plus character set, supporting a total of 219 languages (Latin 1 + 2 and beyond).
After a period of hand sketching and lettering, Bello got two main styles: Script and Caps. These two fonts create a strong typographic contrast - while Bello Script Pro is flourished and flowing, Bello Caps Pro provides upright and sturdy capital lettering. As sturdy as brush lettering allows, 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 comes with a set of 64 ligatures. Some of them are typographic, some made simply to create 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.

With Bello Words Pro you can add some two-color words in your text by the pre-designed word logotypes. Trust the brush!

*So take care: use ‘metrics’, not ‘optical’ as a spacing setting in layout apps.
