Envelove

Envelove is the brand new typographic challenge handwritten by Yani Arabena and designed along with Guille Vizzari and Ale Paul, for Sudtipos.

It all started as a game for Yani. A carefree and spontaneous calligraphy, making use of the pointed nib with black ink, exploring its expressive possibilities pressing against paper. With time that nib turned into her dearest tool to flow through her writing, breeding this particular style of hers that let her trespass the barrier that kept personal and professional passions apart.

All that inspiration is present in Envelove, a play on words that reflect the love of letters. An expressive free–and–easy typeface that follows no formal calligraphic model and lets itself go with the meaning of words, rhythm and sensations.

Envelove successfully joins three different fonts, Envelove Script –free, spontaneous and unique of its kind– going together with Envelove Caps –an uppercase style that builds controlled but dynamic words thanks due to its alternates and ligatures, and to its own true Small Caps set as well–, and Envelove Icons, ideal to decorate and bring to life any written message.

Envelove encourages you to write as if you have a nib, ink and an envelope. It invites you to take part in other worlds like a magic cocktail, a summer night, a long awaited reunion, a first dance, a dish cooked with your own hands. The fashion world, gourmet, stationery, scrapbooking and everyone where a Handmade or Handcrafted feel is craved for, save a special place for Envelove.
