Bellota Font Family
Bellota is an ornamented, low contrast sans-serif with text and swash alternates. It’s just cute enough!
It comes in two variations: regular and text. Each of these comes in tree weights (light/regular/bold) and italics. There are stylistic alternates (for swash and non-ornamented characters) and ligatures available through opentype features. Stylistic Style1: Text Stylistic Style 2: Swash caps
Bellota supports most latin. languages and basic cyrillic
Bellota is based on the font "Snippet" by Gesine Todt (www.gesine-todt.de)

Licence
The Bellota Family is licensed under the SIL Open Font Licence Version 1.1. The Open Font License is a free software license, and as such permits the fonts to be used, modified, and distributed freely (so long as the resulting fonts remain under the Open Font License).
In other words, you are free to use it for any purpose, commercial included.
If you remix or modify the font, I'd love to hear about it!.
Build
Because Bellota uses components that fontmake cannot currently build (as of Jan. 2020) such as corner components, we’re using a partially automated build process.
To generate correct TTFs, export TTFs directly out of Glyphs.app (remove overlaps, autohint), then run the partial build script build.sh to change a few things regarding the hinting settings.
