About ITC Vino Bianco
Jochen Schuss, who practices graphic design and typography in Biedenkopf, Germany, created ITC Vino Bianco to evoke handwriting in capital letters with a ballpoint pen (although certainly more elegant handwriting than most of us can muster). “Many people in other countries are writing only in upper-case letters,” says Schuss. The letters in Vino Bianco are quite traditional in form, elegant and generously wide, but they still look casual. Schuss used the “lowercase” position of the font for the straightforward capital letters, and the “uppercase” for alternate versions of each letter, with slightly more swing to the curves and the strokes. The difference is sometimes subtle, but it makes it easy to vary the letters slightly to give a word or phrase a hand-lettered look. The font includes both European and American handwritten versions of 1, 7, and Z. Schuss says that, as the name suggests, “You can use it for an Italian bill of fare!“ |
