Want: Bella Vita
I was listening to some dubstep today and scouring the whole of the Interwebs today and come upon my new “want”. Enter Bella, from British designer Rick Banks from Face37. I am not sure I would ever have a paid client that would need this typeface, but I would love to fit this into a...
