DC Design
<< >>  ^

MyFonts’ review: DC Design is the foundry of Drena Clementino of southern California. She’s released Bastardre Hand, a font based on 14th century calligraphy. It aims for an authentic scribal feel for longer texts rather than going overboard with flourishes. We agree with her recommendations for its use in medieval-themed games and movies.

Biography

DC Design is the foundry of Drena Clementino. She is a Southern California native who has an extensive art background. Studying traditional art with renowned artists such as Milford Zornes resulted in a love of shape as well as a strong sense of design.

While presently working in digital media and design, she credits her traditional art background for the ability to produce quality multi-media design. Thus DC Design Media was a natural evolution of the artistic process.

Most recently a multi-media project required a type of font that was based on medieval miniscule calligraphy. Finding no available fonts that matched the exact requirements, one was created. This font is based on 14th - 15th century Bastarde calligraphy, has no elaborate flourishes but rather looks like a scribes hand and works well with illuminated script designs. Creating Bastardre Hand, has been a rewarding challenge and forward step for DC Design.
