Giornale

Giornale is inspired by the alternative interpretations and aberrations of classic Roman serif fonts used in Italy in the 1970s, mainly on newspapers, magazines, and political posters. For this project we reversed the typical process and instead of drawing from historical references, we used a series of vernacular interpretations as the source to redraw a single cut display font. The word "giornale" simply means newspaper in Italian. This typeface has a retro look, condensed proportions and is well-suited for headlines and quotes. A small but unique family is in the works.
