Brioso Pro

 
Brioso® Pro is a typeface family designed in the calligraphic tradition of our Latin alphabet, evoking a finely penned roman and italic script — retaining the immediacy of hand lettering while having the scope and functionality of a contemporary composition family. Brioso blends the humanity of written forms with the clarity of digital design, allowing type users to set pages of refined elegance. Designed by Robert Slimbach, this energetic type family is modeled on his own formal roman and italic script. In the modern calligrapher's repertoire of lettering styles, roman script is the hand that most closely mirrors the oldstyle types that we commonly use today; it is also among the most challenging styles to master. Named after the Italian word for "lively," words set in Brioso moves rhythmically across the page with an energy that is tempered by an ordered structure and lucid form. An extended type family, Brioso Pro is available in five weights — Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, and Bold — with companion italic fonts. The type family also features four specially-designed "Opticals" variations for setting captions, text, subheads and display headlines.
