Fonts of Gottfried Pott in the Linotype Library

Gottfried Pott is an excellent expert in calligraphic handwriting. He designed famous fonts for Linotype and is author of numerous publications.
More about the fonts:


Arioso™
Arioso stems from an early form of Old Face, developed during the 14th and 15th centuries in Italy. The style mixed Roman capital letter forms with Carolingian minuscule for the lower case. This combination puts it in the same basic family as many other Italic Chancery typefaces, like Hermann Zapf’s ITC Zapf Chancery® . The pen strokes that form Arioso’s letters remain quite visible in the final product, and this contributes to the typeface’s legibility. Like most chanceries, Arioso works most successfully in point sizes from 12 points on upward.


Carolina™
Gottfried Pott designed his Carolina in the tradition of the Carolingian Minuskel. The rhythmic flow of the font gives text a light and elegant feel.


Duc De Berry™
The design of Duc de Berry was influenced by those of typefaces created between the 13th and 16th centuries. The font was named after Duc de Berry, whose beautiful missals inspired typefaces of the 15th century. The capital letters are especially elegant and can be used either as initials or as contrast to the much more reserved lower case letters.


Ruling Script™
Ruling Script font looks like the zestful handwriting of a calligrapher but its legibility even in longer sentences set it apart from others of its type.
