Italic 2.0 Contemporary type design in Italy

In 2007 I was part of Italic 2.0, an independent research project documenting the state of the art of type design in Italy. The results became a blog, no longer on-line, and a book.

Italic 2.0 presented the latest developments in Italian typographic production, which has experienced a true blossoming in the five years prior to the publication, thanks to the contribution of a younger generation of type designers. The book is organized around a series of themes: research and experimentation, education, recovery of historical models, custom fonts, and independent projects.
A maps section illustrates the educational and professional paths of all the designers mentioned, including their mutual connections.

Released on the occasion of the homonymous exhibition promoted by AIAP during the Icograda Design Week Torino 2008.

With texts by Giovanni Lussu, James Clough, Antonio Cavedoni, Marta Bernstein, Luciano Perondi, Giangiorgio Fuga, Silvia Sfligiotti, and others.
