Chartula is a typeface designed for the Franciscan Theological Centre, located in the city of Assisi, the hometown of Saint Francis. The Theological Centre is made up of several institutions. That's why trademarks made up of acronyms aren't usually very recognisable, so we chose a distinctive and elaborate typeface. The inspiration, as the name of the typeface suggests, came spontaneously from an analysis of the historical-religious elements that characterise the city. Chartula is a contemporary sans serif typeface that mixes the calligraphic broad nib with elements derived from the Oncial and Carolingian scripts. Chartula is a titling typeface, exclusively in small caps.
