Sforza

After visiting Milan in 2018, I stumbled upon the Sforza castle, and discovered some interesting type on a series of inscriptions on the inner courtyard castle walls. I became inspired by what I found, and researched the history behind the castle and restoration, and decided to design a typeface based off of the limited sampling of quirky letterforms. Thus Sforza was born, with ligatures galore, alternates, pictograms, and swooshes. There are 11 stylistic sets, small caps, Latin-A, B & extended, and ornaments. Sforza is a Roman style typeface with an eccentric flair. It has loads of ligatures, nested letterforms, and tails and swooshes for endless combinations.
