about
I’m a type designer and member of CAST – Cooperativa Anonima Servizi Tipografici.
Besides designing, I’m doing a PhD at the University of Reading, faculty of Typography and Graphic Design. My research concerns 15th-century Venetian roman types and I combine use of bibliographical knowledge with analysis of letterforms.
In 2014 I took an MA in Typeface Design at the University of Reading where I was introduced to so-called non-Latin types and fell in love with Bengali script.
Prior to this, from the late 1990s, I freelanced as a type and graphic designer in Milan and elsewhere in northern Italy. From 2009–2013 I was a lecturer in typography at the University of Bolzano.
I currently live between Bolzano and London.
