Dual Text Alphabet 1
Brenda did the original drawings for the San Vito alphabet for our dual text called ‘Dante’, and it seemed a pity to never use it again. When I found the William Massey text I felt the colourful manuscript letters very much echoed the words. At the time I was developing my typeface Snowburst One (available free on google) and I used the idea of that design for the words.

The grandeur of the San Vito and the playfulness and magic of the triangular gilded serifs combined!
