Gwanghwamun square is and open space that is located right in the middle of Seoul downtown. The road beside this square is one of the busiest one in Korea. There are statues of two significant men in Korean history; King Sejong, who promulgated the Korean written language, Hangeul and Korea's greatest naval hero, Admiral Yi Sun-Shin, also stands in the middle of the square surrounded by water fountains
While in the same vein and spirit as Burgues and Compendium, Bellissima began from an entirely different thread as those fonts. It started with Alex Trochut generously showing me a gorgeous lettering book from his grandfather's library: Bellezas de la Caligrafía, by Ramón Stirling, 1844. Stirling was one of the Latin calligraphy pioneers who introduced a refined version of English calligraphy in Spain and made it popular in the nineteenth century.
Some scans from that book served as initial basis for the caps in my Poem Script. But it was always in the back of my mind that I should do a copperplate, and the Stirling model was the perfect source. My intention was to veer away from Stirling's exuberant ornamentation, and work within simplified forms of his ideas. As it usually is with most of my projects, Bellissima became its own bird and shaped its own flying patterns. Suddenly there were many ligatures, multiple endings and swashed connections, hundreds of alternates for both uppercase and lowercase.
Bellissima has an effusive energy that appeals much beyond its sourcing. It's intended for these modern times of appreciation for old crafty things like stationary and letterpress, where its origins help it shine brightly.
Bellissima Script Pro is a complete font with almost 2000 characters full of alternates, swashes, ligatures & ornaments covering a wide palette of latin languages and Bellissima Script Redux is a random sample of glyphs totally usable with a reduced price.

ABOUT AUBERGE SCRIPT
It took me a long time, but I think I now understand why people of my generation and older feel the need to frame current events in an historical context or precedents, while most of the young couldn't care less about what happened ten years ago, let alone centuries back. After living for a few decades, you get to a point when time seems to be moving quite fast, and it’s humbling to see that your entire existence so far can be summed up in a paragraph or two which may or may not be useful to whoever ends up reading the stuff anyhow. I suppose one way to cope with the serenity of aging is trying to convince yourself that your life and work are really an extension of millenia of a species striving to accept, adapt to, and improve the human condition through advancing the many facets of civilization -- basically making things more understandable and comfortable for ourselves and each other while we go about doing whatever it is we are trying to do. And when you do finally convince yourself of that, history becomes a source of much solace and even a little premonition, so you end up spending more time there.
Going far back into the history of what I do, one can easily see that for the most part it was ruled by the quill. Western civilization’s writing was done with quill pens for more than thirteen centuries and with newer instruments for about two. By the mid-18th century, the height of the quill experience, various calligraphy techniques could be discerned and writing styles were arranged in distinct categories. There are many old books that showcase the history of it all. I recommend looking at some whenever the urge comes calling and you have to get away from backlit worlds.
Multiple sources usually help me get a better perspective on the range of a specific script genre, so many books served as reference to this quill font of mine. Late 17th century French and Spanish professional calligraphy guides were great aides in understanding the ornamental scope of what the scribes were doing back then. The French books, with their showings of the Ronde, Bâtarde and Coulée alphabets, were the ones I referenced the most. So I decided to name the font Auberge, a French word for hotel or inn, because I really felt like a guest in different French locales (and times) when I going through all that stuff.
Because it is multi-sourced, Auberge does not strictly fit in a distinct quill pen category. Instead, it shows strong hints of both Bâtarde and Coulée alphabets. And like most of my fonts, it is an exercise in going overboard with alternates, swashes, and ornamental devices. Having worked with it for a while, I find it most suitable for display calligraphic setting in general, but it works especially well for things like wine labels and event invitations. It also shines in the original quill pen application purpose, which of course was stationery. Also, as it just occurred to me, if you find yourself in a situation where you have to describe your entire life in 50 words or less, you may as well make it look good and swashy, so Auberge would probably be a good fit there as well.
This is one quill script that no large bird had to die for.
A few technical notes

About Heráldica Script
We are proud to add a very complex and new font to our collection.
Ornamented scripts are a Koziupa/Paul specialty, and Heraldica is one of their most expressive. It attains the very definition of deluxe by conjoining the classic thin-and-thick script treatment with thin-only counterpart strokes, then it goes the extra mile with a varied complement of overlaid flourishes. The usual assortment of multiple alternates and ending forms pushes it even further in class and versatility.
Monograms, logos, jewelry packaging and book covers are only a few of the possibilities with such a high-end script.
Typeface design: Angel Koziupa & Ale Paul for Sudtipos.

Charming old Spanish books for learning how to read different handwritings.
From Michael Twyman's personal collection.
The more smooth barked beech giants of Epping Forest are frequently marked with Initials and script carved by sweethearts, but they are often a bit of an eyesore. This one however really grabbed my attention - its a work of art. If the last marking is a year (82), then it is 36 years old. So, can anyone please translate? I doubt that it says Darren loves Tracy.
I remember, some of my Flickr friends getting surprised, when they realized in Armenia we use a different script, than English or Russian :) Even though, in Armenia almost everyone speaks Russian, because of our Soviet past. So I thought, to introduce you to Armenian letters with this photo. This is a part of a door-frame of a 10-th century Armenian monastery called Tsakhats Kar. Grapes and other native fruits are typical ornaments for Armenian architecture, so you'll see a lot of them on ancient and modern churches. The writing on this piece is in old Armenian, so it would take me lot of effort to understand the words, but I assume, since it was curved all around the entrance door, it tells about the person(s) who built this monastery.
The Armenian language is an Indo-European language spoken by the Armenian people. Armenian has a long literary history, with a fifth-century Bible translation as its oldest surviving text.
Consisting of 38 letters, the Armenian alphabet is an alphabet that has been used to write the Armenian language since the year 405 or 406. It was reintroduced by Saint Mesrop Mashtots (361 or 362 – February 17, 440), an Armenian monk, theologian and linguist, and originally contained 36 letters.Two more letters, օ (o) and ֆ (f), were added in the Middle Ages. Armenian literature with pre-Mashtotsian letters was burned during the introduction of Christianity. Until the 19th century, Classical Armenian was the literary language; since then, the Armenian alphabet has been used to write the two official literary dialects of Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian.
Now you know what language I speak :)
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
