Pietro Aretino (1492 1556) Was an Italian author, playwright, poet, satirist and blackmailer, who wielded influence on contemporary art and politics.

The most vigorous and versatile vernacular writer of the 16th century He was a very versatile writer, famous for his Lascivious Sonnets which caused great scandal at the time but also for his satirical verses, addressed to all the powerful people in Italy, without forgetting the many plays that he wrote for the theatre.

Part of the charm of his letters is that through them you may know the whole of Venetian society from the top to the bottom.

The little-known church of San Luca in Venice (in St Marks district) has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries for people who are decidedly not devout: journalists, writers, free thinkers.

In 1556 Pietro Aretino, a unique character of the Italian and Venetian Renaissance period was buried there.

Such strong of personality, has contributed to generate the powerful wind of change that emerged from the italian renaissance.

We have inspired on that talent searching for a new sight the famous Venetian typefaces.

Originally designed in 1928, Plak is something of a lost gem in the type world. Despite being drawn by Futura creator Paul Renner, it never achieved the same popularity and spent decades lacking a much-needed digital revival.

Monotype designers Linda Hintz and Toshi Omagari have taken its existing three weights and, after extensive research into the original wood type, extended them into the vast Neue Plak family.

More The typeface is available in 60 weights that stay true to Renners intentions, and offer the same blend of quirky details and German stiffness as Hintz describes it.

The design is an unusual mixture, bringing together a defiant outer appearance thats counteracted by more playful details found in the lowercase r, and the large dots over the is.

Other distinctive details include open or strikethrough counters, and a set of hairline widths that reduce Renners original design to its bare bones.

Neue Plaks display weights are crying out to be used in editorial, on packaging or in logos, while its text weight works well in both print and digital environments.

Download Codec Cheat Sheets Codec is a geometric sans serif type system, designed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini with Francesco Canovaro and Andrea Tartarelli.

Codec provides you with two coherent variant fonts built on the same base skeleton: Codec Cold and Codec Warm.

In Codec Cold terminals are always cut parallel or perpendicular to the baseline, emphasizing geometry and giving the typeface a more constructed look.

In Codec Warm, on the contrary, open diagonal cuts and two-storey letterforms give the typeface a slightly more humanist look and a gentler, warmer text feeling.

More Both Codec Cold and Codec Warm come with a wide range of glyphs for language coverage, including cyrillic and greek alphabets, and of open type features, including small caps, positional numerals and swash forms.

Codec typefaces also include over a hundred variant ligature and alternate glyphs.

These glyphs, usually available as discretionary ligatures, have been made permanently active in the two Codec Logo subfamilies, designed for display use and logo design, and thus available with a bolder weight range and tighter metrics.

Codec Logo Cold makes the cold geometry alive with funky ligatures, while Codec Logo Warm randomly stretches characters: both allow for quick, unexpected solutions in logo design and display type treatment.

Hope Sans takes the jaunty style of 1950s and 60s lettering and melds it with the jubilant 1970s swashes of Bookman.

The result is a sans serif family that is lively, inviting and deeply customizable.

Its basic sans serif forms create engaging text, while a roaring collection of swash designs, alternate characters and ligatures make it a natural for attention-grabbing display typography.

More The middle weights of the family are easy on the eyes and shine at smaller sizes and in blocks of text copy.

Their friendly vibe also translates well to web and interactive design projects.

Spacing is open, counters are large and Hope Sans range of six weights can provide just the right design for virtually any need.

Headlines, subheads, banners and navigational links are naturals for its lightest and boldest weights either with, or without, the swash letters.

Hope Sans is a paint box, says its designer, Charles Nix. In its basic form, its a sturdy grotesque, capable of setting text in a cool and relaxed way.

But a bit of accenting with the alternate forms easily creates an entirely different mood and meaning.

And for those that are willing to really mix with it, the variety of alternate characters can build truly unique typographic statements.

Clean, crisp, rational, familiar, modern serifed. Positype Scotch reaches back to history just enough to produce something warm and easy on the eyes.

No corners were cut, no quick tricks this type suite was drawn for specificity: Text, Display, and Deck ALL in 3 widths that now include Condensed and Compressed.

Each unique, each inter-connected, each part of the whole. Scotch Text is offered in 6 weights with matching true italics. Drawn for economy and an easy read, the family is a workhorse for long-passage text settings.

4 sets of numerals, well-proportioned small caps, and a plethora of extras round out each font.

More Scotch Display is not just a thinner version of Scotch Text wrapped in a higher contrast.

Display sports shorter ascenders and descenders, a unique footprint, great contrast, and a more folded, calligraphic italics.

Display subtly oozes sophistication and provides an attractive, exhuberant companion to Scotch Text.

Scotch Deck rounds out the offering by choosing to be specific to its offering.

Deck utlitizes traits and proportions shared between Text and Display, but alters its overall mass to balance out the needs for settings that require subheadlines, callouts and other similar uses.

Essentially, something not so high-contrast and not so stress dense that works great for middle-sizes.

The first half is Salvatore normal, which has more neutral features; and the second one is Salvatore Roman, which has more versatility at the end of the characters.

The 36 fonts are the first part of a larger Salvatore family. Were proud to introduce: Salvatore.
