DSType was founded in late 1994 by Dino dos Santos who has since designed typefaces for several corporations, magazines and cultural projects. Dos Santos has created some notable typefaces like Andrade, winner of the Creative Review Type Design Award for the Best Revival / Extension Family in 2005 and Ventura, awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Type Design by the Type Directors Club of New York in 2008. Other notable releases include contemporary sans Priva Pro which includes Greek and Cyrillic glyphs and the versatile Leitura Type System. DSType's new premium type series has been launched with the professional Glosa and Prelo OpenType font families as the first offerings. Dino's most well known font is probably the beautiful art deco Estilo Script; full background information on Estilo and all other DSType fonts follows below, with comments by dos Santos himself. All DSType fonts are available in OpenType format as single fonts or family packs for immediate download, trademarks of Dino dos Santos and DSType. | Andrade Pro is a brilliantly legible serif text font and is available in Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Swash and Script styles, all incorporating alternates, ligatures plus CE and Greek glyphs.
