The typeface Ruano was inspired from “Lettera cancelleresca formata” by the Vatican calligrapher Ferdinando Ruano, carved and cast in 1926 by Societa Nebiolo of Turin on the advice of Raffaello Bertieri who designed the capital letters and numbers, missing in the original.
The difficulty of the desing of this chancery font lies in its original vertical layout, bending the calligrafe harmonies to the Gothic style, thus distinguishing it from contemporary cursive alphabets.
