Basco specimen from Typofonderie

A Renaissance-influenced serif with calligraphic, subtly asymmetrical serifs, Bruno Mello's first release for the foundry.

About

Basco reads as a contemporary take on Renaissance handwriting, its letterforms shaped by the period's calligraphy rather than any single revival source. Nine weights with italics give it a full working range, with a Mediterranean, tropical warmth in the details.

Classification
