Bello words
Bello Words is a two-coloured set of 62 common English words. Set them between Bello Script or Small Caps to add extra interest to your layouts.

You can use these words either in one colour, or you can give the foreground and background different colours.

How-to Bello Words

This short movie shows how to create multi-layered words with the typeface Bello Words.

01) First create a text box, and – because there are 2 layers in the Bello Words font, you can enter the same character twice.

02) Give every character a different color.

03) Then change the font to Bello Words.

04) Now activate the OpenType feature called Ligatures 9, and voilà, you'll automatically get a multicoloured word. (Note that the Ligature feature is often already activated by default)

Overview of all 62 pre-designed words
Below you can see Bello Words in action and as a whole table. Bello-practical.pdf contains this same table with the respectful keystrokes. Better download Bello-practical.pdf.
