About

Like a little black dress or a tailored suit, our award-winning F37 Bella font is timelessly stylish. It mixes bygone glamour with a contemporary aesthetic.

One of our best-selling fonts, F37 Bella is influenced by Swiss typographer Jan Tschichold’s early explorations of geometry and shape in letterforms. In particular, the perfect ball terminals of Tschichold’s Saskia font inspired us while drawing F37 Bella.

However, it was John Pistilli’s Pistilli Roman and the thin hairlines in Louis Dorfman’s work that finally inspired F37 Bella’s overall aesthetic shape and form. This interplay between fracture-thin hairlines and pronounced curves is key to F37 Bella’s charm and appeal.

    John Pistilli (1925—2003) worked for the advertising agency Sudler & Hennessey, where he was head of lettering design. Frances Elfenbein met him first in 1957 at Sudler & Hennessey. She writes: “John was the most skilled and creative letterer I had the privilege of knowing. He did the finished lettering for most of the designs Herb Lubalin created [at S&H], always adding refinements to the very rough sketches he received from Herb.” In 1964, Herb Lubalin made a typeface with him called Pistilli Roman.
