Torio Font

Torio Font was developed by Dino dos Santos, Pedro Leal and released by DSType. There are 2 styles and family package options offered by Torio.

In developing this typeface, our main goal was to restructure and the way we interpret the first ten plates of the “Arte de Escribir”, from its chapter titled “EnseÃ±anza de la letra italiana, y sus principales variaciones, autores, sistemas, y otras cosas”, which explains all about the Italian Script. We chose by those ones because they’re the only ones that is not related, either directly or indirectly, to any particular author. We strongly believe that these plates reflect the freedom of his very own calligraphy and are closely related to the calligraphic style that was a success among the spanish calligraphers: the Spanish Bastarda.
