A couple of months after our post which mentioned you could sleep with both Bello and Sauna, we spotted this typographic bastard in Helsinki. Something in between Bello and Sauna. Maybe someone took that post too literally?

Dear Tanja,

thanks a lot for the nice package which came by mail recently. What a nice surprise! We didn’t expect anything, and definitely not something like this at all. Three big letter-pillows: B, A and S. Very nicely made with Bello Caps. Wow. We’re flattered of course, but also confused. First of all, you included a hand written letter which was only signed with your first name: Tanja. Second, you didn’t leave any contact details. What is this? Who are you? Why such a nice gift? Why the mystery?

Is it a secret admiration of B(as), A(kiem) and S(ami)? Or do you just only adore Bas? Should we get worried? If you’re not 18 yet: does your mother know you’re sending nice surprises to strange men? If you’re 18+: next time include bikini-pics!

Or could you put our imagination to a hold and tell us who you are?
lots of love,
Underware

> update: Tanja has been traced. We love you too!

Hey Underware, We were in Seoul two weeks ago, where I found this funny example of Bello in use – easy does it! Have a nice weekend, Urs

Dear Underware Team,
Chapeau! Your Liza is indeed vraiment adorable. The link here below leads you to Your Liza in use (hopefully not abused):

I’m not a professional in the field of visual communication. Type and Typography are passion, hobby and temps libre. I collect »font licenses« of typefaces I like, as others collect stamps or ronds de bière. The only chance to use those typefaces, are my wallpapers.

Liebe Grüße aus Österreich,

Subject: Fwd: Fakir motion graphics, from chile !!.

Hi, mi name is Tonot, i’m a graphic design student (8th semester) and graffiti artist based on Santiago, Chile, Southamerica. We’ve been following all what you do, and is great influence. Last year we did a Motion Graphic class, one of our assigments was to work with a typo and the typestudio. I choose Fakir, this is what i did.

Hope you like de video and check my website: http://www.okfscrew.com
Go fast, Tonot

Recently 2 jazz-events used Bello for their communication. Perfect moment to show the zz-ligature in its full glory, one could say. One did it, the other missed their change. But it can’t be an accident that in the same week somebody send us an image of ‘Il Bello del Jazz’. Snap!
