Felicità is based on the design of my “Ellida” font family. It was designed with “happiness” in mind. Therefore I used extremely high contrast between the down- and upstrokes, this gives the fonts a lively, happy appearance.
I designed two different basic fonts, that can be mixed or used straight (this is number two). Then I designed two different sets of Initials (Initials), middle- and end-swings and added a set of embellishment wings and flowers.
Since not everybody uses Open-Type-savy software I designed single fonts to be mixed. Ellida is suited very well to design short captions & for all kinds of invitations, but as you can see here it can used for longer copy as well just give it enough line spacing.
