In this new, well-designed, periodical publication about typographical subject matter each issue will concentrate on a specific area of Italian typography.
"The history of writing and type in Italia has always been of prime concern to scholars throughout the world. The wealth of shapes of the Latin letters on title pages, manuscripts, calligraphy manuals and other books seems inexhaustible. They represent models that remain vital and continue to guide and inspire modern graphic design.
Tipoitalia celebrates the protagonists of the Italian history of written communication and all those major and minor treasures that have come down to us through the centuries. Our magazine aims to single out the links with themes that keep the typography of the past relevant to today; links that are still strong and are coming to the surface again in contemporary Italian graphic design."
