Oer Bellamy Sans Lettertype

Bellamy Sans is in hjoeddeiske sans-serif lettertype dat de groteske styl opnij betinkt troch in ferfine, moderne sensibiliteit. Wortele yn de tradysjes fan de Switserse typografy, hâldt it fêst oan it kearnprinsipe fan neutraliteit, wylst it in fersachte oanpak yntrodusearret foar de stivichheid dy't karakteristyk is foar klassike grotesken. Subtyl kontrast en soarchfâldich foarme kurven jouwe it lettertype in ûnderdien ekspressive elegânsje, mei in dúdlikens dy't nei foaren komt sûnder te fertrouwen op oertollige fersiering.
