Fontanella is a typeface designed by Coto Mendoza, which emerged from calligraphy and manual drawing exploring the skeleton and classical proportions of Roman capitals.

This initial process later gave rise to a sans serif family composed of 8 weights and their italic variants. It also includes small caps, old numerals and width variants in the set of alternatives. The slightly enlarged x-height makes it perfect for composing short texts in editorial, fashion, branding, magazines, television, window displays and other media.

Fontanella a classic spirit reinterpreted in a contemporary language.
