Boboli fonts from Stefano Tonti - (itdjn)
The Boboli garden in Florence (16th century) is one of the first examples of Italian renaissance garden, where nature was shaped into geometric beauty; the Boboli font was designed in the same spirit, filtered by a Modernist view.
It comes in two sets, Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer: by mixing them you can compose the typographic season of your choice.
From the geometric, minimal Fall/Winter set stem the leaves of the baroque-esque Spring/Summer set, with many stylistic alternatives that allow perfect matching.
The two opposite styles merge perfectly, because the leaves are not mere decorations but organic part of the structure, achieved by sampling the curves of the basic glyphs.
With Boboli design meets nature, Bauhaus goes greenhouse.
