Dolce is the next action in Elena Albertoni's ongoing expedition of handwritten letterforms that started with her typefaces Dyna and Scritta. It is an effort to come to a more naturally streaming kind of handwriting, striking a balance between the orderly and the informal, while taking a critical look at the possibilities and limitations of OpenType.
Dolce utilizes OpenType functionality to accomplish a strong sense of spontaneity.
Since the uppercase letters of Dolce are lively calligraphic initials, they need to be utilized only in combination with lowercase, and not in all-caps setting; to make it simpler for the user, Dolce includes an unique OpenType feature that instantly substitutes initials with little caps when words are completely embeded in capitals. The little caps set is calmer, fitting perfectly with the rest of the typeface.
Dolce features support for Western & & Central European languages, small caps, alternates and ligatures.
In 2005 Dolce got the "Certificate of Excellence in Type Style" award from the Type Directors Club (TDC) of New York.
