Alberto Tallone
Italian typographer, type designer and printer (b. Bergamo, 1898; d. Alpignano, 1968) who created the garalde typeface Tallone for his own private press in Alpignano in 1949-1952. He was in Milan and then Paris, to finally move his printing business to Alpignano after the war. Jack W. Stauffacher wrote about him in Homage to Alberto Tallone, 1898-1960 in volume 6.1 of Visible Language, 1972. Tallone also designed the tall and slender Garalde typeface Tallone Max Factor in 1959 (or was it 1956 as reported by Mac McGrew?) for use by the cosmetics company. Jean Loize also wrote on Tallone in 1951: i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi. A letter of Bianca Tallone, dated 1982. Samples of the Tallone typeface (1951): I, II, III, IV, V. Photograph. Klingspor link. |
