I licensed Estilo minutes after discovering it in Dino dos Santos’s DSTYPE library.

The geometric simplicity of the characters is the basic step in this stylish Deco face’s surprising range. Set a few headlines to see Estilo’s stylish and classy moves: alternates, ligatures, swashes, greek, all in a handy contextual OpenType package. And it’s easy on the wallet, so get swingin’. New in ’06: Check out Estilo’s script cut, rounding out the family with lowercase and swash caps. — Chris Rugen
