About

A constructed display sans by Riccardo De Franceschi, drawn from the vernacular lettering of Milan with industrial, angular forms and triangular terminals. The variable font carries a Weight axis from Light to Heavy and a Slant axis that includes an extreme Turbo Italic for high-impact moments, plus a set of Milanese pictograms. Aimed at posters, identities and editorial features that want a city-specific accent rather than another neutral grotesque.
