Born in Verona, 1433, died in Rome in 1479. He was a printer and calligrapher. Monotype's Felix Titling (1934) is based on his lettering from 1463. About these letters, he wrote: I, Felice Feliciano, have revived this in the antique manner after ancient marble tablets such as are to be found in Rome and elsewhere. People credit him with the first ruler-and-compass construction of letterforms.
