The nine member Gondolieri family is now available for purchase from Myfonts and Fontspring.

The design of Gondolieri has its origins in an experiment to combine aspects of Didone and Tuscan typefaces. The result has a continental ‘Italianate’ feel. If you wonder what lies behind the name, just look at the lower case ‘f’…definite overtones of a Venetian Gondola here, and throughout the design. Gondolieri is offered in regular and bold weights, as well as a simplified form for smaller text use. All of these are available in three widths.

An extensive range of Opentype features, including ligatures and terminal forms is included in the regular and bold faces.
