 Bucintoro is a modern version of the rotunda blackletter, the Gothic book hand of Italy and Spain in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. As the name implies, it’s more “rotund” than the tall, angular Textur blackletter used in Germany that Gutenberg imitated. While the use of blackletter continued far into the 20th century in Germany and Scandinavia, the rotunda gave way to roman (and later also italic) letterforms in Italy, France, and Spain. It’s less well known these days. Bucintoro has upper- and lowercase alphabets, numerals, punctuation, diacritics—but lacks such modern characters as currency symbols. Has light, medium, and black weights. US$59.
