Sforza specimen from Ampersand Type Foundry

An all-capitals display typeface taking its name from the Sforza dynasty, offering five weights with obliques and an extensive set of OpenType alternates including nested, swoosh and double letter forms.

About

Named after the Italian ducal family, Sforza is built around uppercase letterforms with a rich collection of decorative features: nested letter pairs, wide and extremely wide swoosh variants, high alternates and elaborate discretionary ligatures. Ten styles span Thin through Bold with matching obliques. The depth of its glyph set makes it suited to titling and ornamental work with a Renaissance Italian flavour.

Classification

An all-capitals display typeface with strong Renaissance Italian references, featuring elaborate nested and swoosh alternates for decorative lettering. Its uppercase-only orientation and extensive OpenType features for decorative ligatures and nested letterforms place it firmly in the display category.
