More Information About this Typeface:
Taking her inspiration from fourth-century Roman inscriptions, Brenda Walton gave ITC Cancione a slender, elegant, high-waisted form, with the thick-and-thin variation of brush strokes on stone. She then heightened the effect by adding a rough texture to the letters, as though they’d been rubbed from a weatherworn facade. Walton, who lives in northern California, is a calligrapher and illustrator who “focuses mainly on developing hand lettering and illustrations for gift collections, gourmet food packaging, book jackets and business identities.” One of her specialties is designing collections featuring botanical illustrations. It’s not surprising that ITC Cancione includes a large number of floral ornaments and tendril-like flourishes, each showing the flowing forms of brushwork but again roughened and weathered. Along with the ornaments, Walton provides a number of alternate letters and single words like “of” and “to.“
