Script logos and calligraphy-inspired fonts are a big trend<\/a>\u00a0today.<\/p>\n

But script typography is not easy to use<\/strong>. Legibility issues, long ascenders and descenders, problems with all-uppercase words. We saw some interesting typefaces trying to address at least the readability<\/strong> issue – like the ubiquous Lobster<\/strong> font – but we were still not satisfied. We wanted to create a script typeface that was a bit like a swiss knife<\/strong> for designers, with easy to use features<\/strong> and a good result in display use<\/strong> but also in typesetting for short texts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This led us to create our new typeface:\u00a0Bulletto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bulletto<\/strong>\u00a0was designed to maximize legibility<\/strong> in bold italic characters. Its shapes take inspiration from Digitalino<\/a>, the fat typeface designed by Francesco Canovaro for\u00a0Digitalic<\/a>\u00a0brand identity. To add a script flavour all uppercase\u00a0letters have a small swash with a round ball terminal, and\u00a0to avoid clashes between letters in all-uppercase words, a secondary set of uppercase was designed:<\/p>\n

\"immagine_articolo_3\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This effect is obtained by open type substitution and can be disabled by switching off standard ligatures.\u00a0A set of final forms for lowercases<\/strong> and some swash endings<\/strong> where added too.\u00a0To obtain the final form, allow opentype final form alternates or simply type two hyphens<\/strong> after the letter. Similarly, type one to four underscores<\/strong> after the last letter to get swash endings:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The use of swashes and alternates makes creation of simple logos very easy.<\/p>\n

\"immagine_articolo_5\"<\/a><\/div>\n

From the original Bulletto design (Bulletto Killa<\/strong>), many different variants were developed. Bulletto Monoline<\/strong>, is a light monoweight version, while\u00a0Bulletto Alto<\/strong> is a version with taller ascendants and descendants and a slight slant.<\/p>\n
