Type By Aldo Novarese

Aldo Novarese (1920-95) is widely considered to be one of the most influential Italian type designers of the 20th century, best known for his work with the Nebiolo Foundry in Turin. This volume gathers a selection of his foundry specimens--exquisite booklets designed to introduce new typefaces and show off their uses--from the dazzling Letterform Archive collection. Offering unparalleled access to type as it was first meant to be seen, these highly collectible specimens are reproduced here in facsimile form and bound into a trifold hardcover portfolio with an inside pocket containing smaller booklets.
