Giulio Da Milano creatore di tipi

This is one of 120 copies printed on cotton paper made in Sicily.

Giulio Da Milano, Artistic Director at Nebiolo Foundry, designed four important typefaces: Neon, Mecano, Fregio Razionale, Veltro. This booklet was typeset by hand in the original 1930s types that he designed, which were cast by Nebiolo Foundry.

Text by Enrico Tallone.

This booklet intends to gave a decisive contribution to bringing Da Milano’s masterpieces, for far too long unjustly neglected, back to the limelight.
