Fidelio ND was designed by José Mendoza y Almeida and published by Neufville Digital. Fidelio ND contains 1 style.
Fidelio was named after Beethoven’s only opera.
It is a chancery italic typeface with swashes that seems to lack a clear systematic organisation: some characters have even more swash versions and some don’t have swashes at all.
Fidelio seems to have been written with a broad nibbed pen, but in reality Mendoza designed all shapes by hand.
