Dulcinea was created by Ramiro Espinoza and published by Re-Type. Dulcinea consists of 1 design. p > Dulcinea is the title of Ramiro Espinoza's thorough look at Spanish Baroque calligraphy's most extreme propensities, and specifically at a few of those produced by the writing masters Pedro Díaz Morante and Juan Claudio Aznar de Polanco. These 17th and 18th centuries alphabets with their plentiful calligraphic flourishes represented a significant break with the harmonic and angular Renaissance Cancellaresca style.

It was Morante who initially introduced and promoted the usage of the pointed quill in Spain, and although his popular text entitled "Arte Nueva de escribir"-- first volume published in 1616-- consists of alphabets that have much in common with traditional broad nib Cancellaresca calligraphy, many of the examples therein are outgrowths of the new models advance by the Italian master Gianfrancesco Cresci.

The writing's swashes are intricate and intricate, however at the exact same time they feature an abundance of defects. Much of them sometimes come close to ugliness. Nevertheless, these pages include an artistic essence that bears a relationship to the ironic and often somber character of Spanish Baroque.

That's why the name of the font style admires "Dulcinea del Toboso", the fictional appeal from Miguel de Cervantes's 'Don Quixote', a work that reveals much of the period's conflicts, such as the contrast between utopian suitables and truth, unpredictability and madness.

But Dulcinea is far from being simply a revival. Its kinds are not mindful tracings of the details of Morante and Polanco's letters, nor are they tries to replicate them digitally. In reality, the author of the letters states that had the typeface been created that way it would have been too archaic to serve as acceptable modern typography. Nevertheless, he believes that there are myriad intriguing details that can be rescued and maintained, in addition to the lively spirit of the original.

The work of developing Dulcinea included integrating initial historic elements with the creativity and calligraphy of the font style's author in order to produce a modern typography that isn't based upon the same conventional sources as lots of recently produced scripts fonts.

Dulcinea provides appealing alternatives for the setting of texts and headlines: plentiful ligatures and swashes along with complex alternate characters. It sophisticated forms make it a perfect choice for ladies's magazines, recipe books, underwear products or fragrance packaging.
