Austrian designer Viktor Solt-Bittner created the 1998 Adobe Original typeface, Voluta Script, for usage in a guide to the Austrian Gallery at Castle Belvedere. A volute (Latin "voluta") is a spiral or scroll-shaped ornament utilized in the Baroque architecture of Castle Belvedere, similar to the swashes in this typeface. The castle was the historic house of Prince Eugene of Savoy, among the terrific military commanders of the 18th century and a popular figure in Austrian history. When asked to develop a typeface based on the calligraphy of the duration to show Eugene's impressive, Solt-Bittner turned for motivation to Kurrent writing, a cursive blackletter design. Solt-Bittner developed a hybrid design that embodies the rhythm and standard kinds of its ancestors with big capitals, dark vertical strokes, and grew beginning and ending characters. Voluta Script allows designers to stimulate the Baroque era or to provide a hint of marvelous grace to contemporary typesetting.
