I´ve done everything, but nothing has ever kept me away from my first love: the alphabet. I´ve tried to improve it each day, inspired by the letters on Trajan´s column: never to be forgotten, without equal...

Calligraphy must be expressive and clear, emanating warmth and ´joie de vivre´. ´Anything worthy of being written is worth being written well´.

Ricardo Rousselot publishes his own fonts through his EdyType foundry.
