Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey

This was written for a book that developed out of a workshop given by Radim Peško at ISIA, an art school in Urbino, Italy, where I also teach. The project involved design students making digital typefaces based on the Roman captials on the facade of the Palazzo Ducale, a Renaissance building in the centre of town. The publication, Type and Context, is available from Roma Publications.

Lead image: Overlaid instances of the letter Z by three separate groups of students. The Z doesn't feature in the original inscription and so had to be extrapolated from the other characters.
