Tipi is a small breviary, to embark on the journey of curiosity between some Italian typefaces. Each typeface is the result of the skill and talent of true masters, who have been able to concentrate punctual and meticulous craft, rich in harmony and taste, in these tiny architectures of signs. For centuries, those who designed fonts knew how to mediate between eye and hand, aesthetics and readability, form and synthesis. At the base of the trade, yesterday as today, there are sensitivity and competence, trained by talent and experience. Tipi is also a simple tribute to these masters and their precious art of giving visible shape to the sounds of words.
