About Italianno

Italianno is a script typeface written at a steep forward slant, with lowercase letters linked by thin connecting strokes. In the specimen the lowercase is very small beside long ascenders and looped descenders, and the capitals begin with horizontal entry strokes and end in open curls. Strokes thicken gently on the downstroke, as with a flexible pen, but the overall colour stays light. The official notes describe a calligraphic script with clean connecting strokes and name invitations, scrapbooking and packaging as its uses. Robert Leuschke, listed in the name table as Robert E. Leuschke, is the designer. The family has one Regular style and no variable file. Its 779 glyphs cover the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets, which include the letters needed for Western and Central European languages. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Italianno works

Wedding and event invitations

Flourished capitals and fine joins set names and a short line of greeting in a formal hand.

Scrapbook pages and photo books

A date or caption in the slanted script reads as a pen-written note beside pictures.

Labels for wine, soap or sweets

A product name in the light script adds a handwritten signature to packaging, as the official notes suggest.

Certificates and place cards

Capitals with long entry strokes give a recipient's name weight on a single line.

Things to know

Very small lowercase

The lowercase letters are low in the specimen, so Italianno needs a large font size to reach the apparent size of other faces.

One style

There is only a Regular file, without bold.

Capitals start words

A line typed in capitals alone overlaps in the specimen; the capitals are drawn to lead into lowercase.
