Michelangelo Poeta album art
Michelangelo Poeta: Letto da Vittorio Gassman is a 1964 spoken-word album narrated by Vittorio Gassman and released by Cetra. The album revolves around Michelangelo, his legacy, and his art, which is communicated via songs, poems, and other means.
The title sans is Venus Bold Condensed (or a local copy thereof), used on the front in all-lowercase, contrasted with a bold weight from a version of Neue Moderne Grotesk, probably Nebiolo’s Cairoli tonda nerissima. Below the main part of the design – featuring Studi di figura – is a small subtitle set in what looks like Narciso tonda chiara larga, Nebiolo’s name for the light weight of Edel-Grotesk, and Etrusco Chiaro Stretto. Surrounding everything is Fette Kursiv-Grotesk, which was included in Nebiolo’s Etrusco family as the corsivo nerissimo normale style. Also present on the back cover is a version of Aster with compact descenders for Vincenzo Talarico’s liner notes and Semplicità for the address.
