Maurizio feels like Italian bellezza as the evening sun accompanies the second glass of strong red wine on the shores of the Mediterranean. Maurizio is a display typeface suitable for big screens and big stages—the bigger, the better. Why? Because only at large sizes do Maurizio’s design features fully reveal themselves: razor-sharp serifs, open lobes like in “g”, twisted dots on “i”, “j”, etc.

The Italic, designed by Nina Botthof, adds some tenderness to the condensed and rigid design. The exaggerated end strokes in the lowercase letters create a very distinctive rhythm in the Italic styles while staying true to the original design.
