Stella Splendid Special Font Family was designed by Panos Haratzopoulos and published by Fonts.GR. Stella Splendid Special contains 1 styles and family package options. Stella Splendid is probably the most characteristic Stella Project font. It draws inspiration from the printed advertisments in the 1950s and 1960s. It is characterized by a pronounced expressive chapter of a capital letter, which is followed by robust lowercase letters in which one or more share similar expressive characteristics. The basic rules of calligraphy (baseline, heights, widths) are not necessarily followed but the calligraphers’ main concern is to draw the attention of the reader through dynamic writing and flamboyant manner. Stella Splendid’s design was performed with an “anarchic” look and without strict rules of calligraphic style to express the general idea, while at the same time all this material had to be standardized to follow the necessary technical constraints. The font consists of two styles, Serano and Special, with a mild and dynamic character respectively, and a variety of alternatives forms and ligatures. The user is asked to combine them in a creative way, using variable character forms –even n the same word or phrase– in order to achieve a dynamic and random effect.
