A most beautiful calligraphed font made with brides in mind

Last weekend I opened my mailbox to find a special package addressed to me - in not just any hand-writing, but hand-calligraphy. I couldn't wait to open the package . . .

The box contained the most beautiful, promotional package I've ever received. It was all handmade inside with polka-dotted padded fabric and a lovely little write-up about a new font, named Belluccia, that Debi of Lettering Art Studio has created. It is available for purchase from MyFonts.com and is a stunning calligraphed font with fleurishes, ornaments and borders also available to combine with your lettering for a spectacular visual display.

The box even contained an edible cookie that featured the Belluccia typeface. Simply GORGEOUS. I plan on purchasing this font - so please stayed tuned to see what I design with it :)
