From the foundry
Francesco is a typeface inspired by Venetian faces of the Renaissance, especially those cut by Francesco Griffo. Adopting old-style classicism and manual drawing, it evokes 15th-century prints through obstructed counterforms (a, e) and careful attention to historical detail. A contemporary interpretation of Renaissance typography that bridges historical craftsmanship with modern type design.
