Typefaces in use:

Iza and Paulo W’s (INTELLECTA) strikingly beautiful and elegant script face »Van den Velde Script«.

The »Y-Initial« doesn’t correspond to the »Y« of the original script face. I had to modify it strongly for this lettering.

Van den Velde Script: Iza and Paulo W (Intellecta Design) are proud to announce Van den Velde Script. A free interpretation of the work of the famous master penman Jan van den Velde, to be found in the “Spieghel der schrijfkonste, in den welcken ghesien worden veelderhande gheschrifften met hare fondementen ende onderrichtinghe.” (Haarlem, 1605).

Alejandro Paul’s (SUDTIPOS) unique, striking script face »Candy Script«.

Candy Script: Inspired by Argentina and its culture, Alejandro Paul’s Candy Script captures the country’s spirit.

Typeface in use:

Rebecca Alaccari’s (Canada Type) candy, feminine, gorgeous, fashionable ... script face »Jezebel«.

»Jezebel is all dressed up for you. And if she can't make your mouth water and eyes light up with love, nobody else can. She’s got bigger hair than Dolly and Elvira together, more tongue than a Kiss concert with Jagger opening, more leg than a Moulin Rouge premiere, more sword than a pirate ship, and more loop than a chartered accountant. She’s the queen of now, the essence of cool, the twenty-first century fox. She’s the ever playful and creative girl with so much talent her art just cannot be restrained. She’s got popular culture on a long but strong leash. She looks gorgeous and positively glamorous no matter what color she wears. And last but not least, she’s got the charisma to make people of all ages want more of whatever it is she feels like offering.«

Typeface in use:

Maximiliano Sproviero’s (LIÁN TYPES) charming, breathtaking beauty »Reina«.

Reina Reina is Sproviero’s didone of the year. We recommend seeing its »user guide.
Inspired in the sweet letters of calligraphy and typography masters of our past; such as Didot, Bodoni and the incredible Herb Lubalin, its aim was to incorporate the decorative accolades from blackletter and copperplate styles of calligraphy into a Modern Roman typeface.
Reina reflects sovereignty due to the enveloping atmosphere and the sensation of greatness that can be felt when using it. It has an unique way of standing over paper and screen, being its swashes responsible of an extreme elegance.
Similar to what Lian did in his last font Breathe, Reina was designed to be playful yet formal: While none of its alternates are activated it can be useful for short to medium length texts; and when the user chooses to make use of its open-type decorative glyphs, it can be useful for headlines with dazzling results.

TECHNICAL
Reina is a family with many members. In order to achieve better results when printing, Lian took his time to design the necessary styles: Reina 72 Pro, prepared for display sizes; Reina 36 Pro, for medium sizes; and Reina 12 Pro, the best for text or decorative words in small size.
Each of these members have variants inside, which are open-type programmed: The user decides which glyph to alternate, equalizing the amount of decoration wanted.
Reina Engraved Pro has the same features than the variants mentioned above.
The family also contains variants which were made exclusively for decoration. These are: Reina Words, a set of the most common words used in english, german, italian, french and spanish; Reina Capitals, which consists in a big set of ornamented capitals; and Reina Fleurons, those little friends which always help to embellish our work by combining them in the way the we want to.
