Bestia
Spoviero Type · Max Sproviero
A high-contrast pointed-brush script with four optical-size styles and a variable font axis, drawn from the designer's own calligraphy practice.
About
Bold, sweeping strokes and deliberate contrast shifts across its optical sizes give Bestia a dramatic quality suited to editorial headlines and luxury branding. The variable font uses an optical size axis to control contrast, improving legibility at smaller settings while preserving its expressive energy at large scales. An extensive set of OpenType features – swashes, discretionary ligatures, ornaments and nineteen stylistic sets – extends its calligraphic range considerably.
Classification
