ABOUT

Michelangelo Nigra

Michelangelo Nigra is a graphic designer, type designer and illustrator based in Turin, Italy. Graduate of the Type Media program at KABK in Den Haag, The Netherlands, class of 2019. He opened up a foundry at Future Fonts in 2020. After graduation, he started teaching at IED (Istituto Europeo Design). His typefaces:

• His graduation typeface, Rapida, evokes speed and pressure to buy (or else!).
• In 2018, Joseph Miceli (Alpha Type) and Michelangelo Nigra co-designed Arial Grotesk. They write: Arial appears to be a loose adaptation of Monotype's venerable 215 Grotesque series, redrawn trying to match the proportions and weight of Helvetica. Arial Grotesk is truer to the original.
• Mirta (2020-2021). A sharp-edged decorative sans that started out from roman inscriptional letters ans used elements of transitional typefaces such as Caslon.
