Bella Donna

T

he famous Italian type designer and Nebiolo director Alessandro Butti designed Rondine in 1948. Not so surprisingly, given its beauty, it quickly became quite a commonly copied metal type. But for some reason Rondine was spared during the massive “phototyping” that happened with the introduction of film type. Perhaps this is why no digital version of it ever existed until now.

Bella Donna is an upright round script that can be used both formally and informally, in almost any design where an elegant script completes the equation. The dramatic grandeur of the majuscules is very nicely complemented by pouty low-x-height minuscules that sprout graceful and very visible ascender and descender loops. Titles, sentences and paragraphs set in Bella Donna are meant to delightfully tease the reader and make hearts skip a beat. Bella Donna can deliver a subtle promise of joyful playfulness, inviting elegance, memorable romance, sensuality, or sincere understanding.

Bella Donna comes with over 380 glyphs, including a few alternates and swashes sprinkled throughout the font, and support for the majority of Latin languages.
