ABOUT THE ORIGINAL FONT

Iza W and Intellecta Design are proud to announce Invitation Script, a modern and clean revival of the classic work of the Portuguese master penman
Manuel de Andrade de Figueiredo, whose work can be seen in “Nova Escola para aprender a ler, escrever, e contar (...)'' (1722).1
Invitation Script is the third script superfamily published by Intellecta Design, after Penabico and Van den Velde Script.
Invitation Script has original letters designed by Iza W. Creative direction and core programming were provided by Paulo W. Chyrllene K assisted with some
work on unusual and archaic styles, resulting in a special font - Invitation Script Archaic (soon available).

Invitation started out from Andrade's script style and evolved into a voluptuous script font family. The result is a typeface ideal for
beautiful headings, signatures, art work typography, titles and short pieces of hand-lettered text. Invitation family includes two multi-table Opentype
fonts, three supplementary fonts for ornaments and fleurons, and the Archaic font with some of the Andrade's original characters.
Embedded in the regular fonts are additional sets of letters. Over 40 variations are available for certain letters via the Special Sets Opentype table.
The two regular versionss of Invitation Script contains the following:

(i) An extensive set of ligatures providing letterform variations that make eye-popping designs or simulate real handwriting. These are accessible via
contextual alternates and other open-type features.

(ii) Many stylistic alternates for each letter (upper and lowercase, accessed via the glyph palette, encoded in the ranges of the Special Set Opentype feature).
Since there are over 1100 glyphs in each font, we suggest using the glyph palette.

(iii) A set of ornaments and fleurons accessed with the glyph palette or using the Ornaments feature. Additional ornaments can be found in the two
Invitation Script Ornaments fonts.

(iv) Initial and final letters with artistic variations accessible using the initial and final form open-type features.

(v) Major kerning work: over 6000 kerning pairs, hand-set to avoid collisions and to create intricate combinations of letters, using swashes and other
resources.

These powerful features are all accessible in InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXpress and similar software. We recommend exploring the magic of this
font using the glyph palette. Our sample illustrations and PDF brochures showcase the power and pizzazz
of this calligraphic script. Let your imagination go wild and use Invitation Script in ways that Andrade could not have foreseen.
In non-OpenType-savvy applications, Invitation Script is still an exceptionally beautiful calligraphic typeface that stands up to the competition.
The regular fonts contains the complete Latin alphabet, including Central European, Vietnamese, Baltic and Turkish, with a full set of diacritics and
punctuation marks.

1 FIGUEIREDO, Manuel de Andrade de, 1670-1735
Nova Escola para aprender a ler, escrever, e contar. Offerecida á Augusta Magestade do Senhor
Dom Joaõ V. Rey de Portugal. Primeira parte / por Manoel de Andrade de Figueiredo, Mestre desta
Arte nas cidades de Lisboa Occidental, e Oriental. - Lisboa Occidental : na Officina de Bernardo da
Costa de Carvalho, Impressor do Serenissimo Senhor Infante, 1722. - 18, 156 p., 44 f. grav. a buril :
il., ; 2º (31 cm)
Engraved royal coat of arms supported by angels over the city of Lisbon, engraved portrait of the
author (both of the foregoing by Bernard Picart), (12)ff., 156pp., engraved calligraphic section title, 44
engraved plates. Wood-engraved culs-de-lampe and lettrines. Sm. folio. “Andrade de Figueiredo was
born in Espirito Santo, where his father was Governor of the ‘Capitania.’ The fine portrait is dated
1721 and is showing Figueiredo at the age of 48. He was an eminent calligrapher and a creator of the
Portuguese handwriting until the reign of Don José I (ca. 1755). His work follows the style of the great
Italian masters in its use of clubbed ascenders and descenders, and of Diaz Morante, the famous
Spanish writing master, in its very elaborate show of command of hand. By his contemporaries, he
was known as the ‘Morante portugues’” (Ekström). “Ce livre est un manuel, composé de quatre
parties, destiné à apprendre à lire, à écrire, à conter ainsi que l’orthographe. Les planches comportent
des examples d’écritures, d’alphabets et de textes ornés de remarquables traits de plume exécutés
d’une main sûre et enjouée” (Jammes).
