Since my last portfolio site, I've decided to keep doing the country theme as a self-imposed design constraint. This time Italy comes on stage, and this site is specifically a tribute to Aldo Novarese, the legendary 20th-century type designer who worked for the Nebiolo typefoundry in Turin.

All three typefaces are revivals of Novarese's work: Forma, revived by David Jonathan Ross; Sutro, an Egizio revival by Jim Parkinson; and Recta, revived by Canada Type.

I chose Forma Deck for big text instead of Display or Banner, since the stem flaring is more pronounced, reminiscent of metal-type printing. Recta is used sparingly; its construction is more lenient and proportions more compact, making it more suitable for small headings.

A shout-out to Mr. Ross, who provided me with Forma on a student license.
