1610 Cancellaresca

This font was inspired by the “Cancellaresca moderna ” type, which was calligraphed by Francesco Periccioli (published in 1610 in Sienna, Italy). It was entirely hand written by the designer for each circumstance, using quill pen and medieval ink on a rough paper, with added characters as accented ones and a lot of ligatures with respect for the original design.

This font includes “long s”, and also a lot of ligatures as “ff”, “ffi” “fij” “pp”...

It can be used for web-site titles, posters and flier designs, editing ancient texts or greeting cards, or as a very decorative and elegant font.

This font retains its qualities and beauty over a wide range of sizes.
