Modulo (Superness)
Modulo is a rigid, geometrically-determined sans-serif typeface whose shapes self-generate on the basis of a 7:10 ratio grid—the standard proportions of UNI posters. Designed by Alessio D'Ellena with production by Alberto Malossi through Superness foundry, the typeface pursues a radical and modernist ideal seeking formal essentiality. Curves and design elements are geometrically derived from a basic skeleton with optical corrections applied, creating a typeface that balances naive geometric construction with refined visual refinement. Though the approach is methodologically straightforward, the formal result retains an interesting spirit worthy of research and digitalization. Modulo represents a systematic exploration of modernist design principles.
