"Tiepolo"

THE HISTORY OF ITC TIEPOLO

Cynthia Hollandsworth Batty and Arthur Baker, as part of AlphaOmega Typography, in 1987 designed the ITC font Tiepolo.  They described it as a “sans serif with serifs,” but it has been compared to calligraphic designs with similarities to Asian calligraphy.  ITC Tiepolo was named after and inspired by the works of 18^th century Venetian painter and printmaker Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, the son of famed Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. While a talented painter, much like his father, Domenico was best known for his printmaking in etching.
