Newsletter #2 - July 2007

Scrivano type family was designed by Ricardo Esteves Gomes, inspired by some handwritings from the Middle Ages and Renaissance period. There are four elegant organic font styles (Regular, Italic, Bold & Bold Italic) that can be very useful to compose long or short texts in graphic standards that need some 'old style' feeling.

Additional words from the type designer

This new type family is a result of four months of hard work. The idea was to design organic letterforms that show the calligraphic nature of typography, based on strokes made by a broad-edge pen. The beauty of cursive forms is shown specially on the italics, made by a faster and more fluid hand. I decided to use old style numbers and some ligatures in each font, as you can see beside.

Maryam is a script type family made by Outras Fontes. Because of moderate contrast, these fonts have elegant and very legible forms even in small x-height sizes. There are more than 70 ligatures in each font, providing a lot of letterform variations that can make this type family look like real handwriting on a page.

"Now there's a useful tool to improve your handwriting! Maryam, designed by Ricardo Esteves Gomes from Brazil, has everything to make a typeset page look like a piece of authentic, hand-written text. [...] When combining Maryam Regular and Alternate, the effect is even more lively and varied, enabling the user to create a perfect illusion of casual calligraphy." (MyFonts's 'Rising Stars' publication, April 2007).
