Bello Pro was designed by Bas Jacobs, Akiem Helmling, Sami Kortemäki and published by Underware. Bello Pro contains 3 styles and family package options.
Now check this, Underware’s blockbuster type, Bello.
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.
