ABOUT







Maurizio Osti

Artist, teacher, graphic and web designer, born in Sasso Marconi, a small town outside Bologna, Italy. Since 1978 Osti has taught courses in Special Graphic Techniques and recently also the course of Progettazione Grafica, at the Accademia di Belle Arti. He works as an art director. In 2009 he received the Premio Marconi for Multimedia Art.

In 1995, Maurizio Osti reconstructed and redesigned Ben Shahn's Folk Alphabet, which was originally created as lettering in 1940, with the consent and approval of Mrs. Bernarda Shahn and the Estate of Ben Shahn, under license from VAGA (New York). FF Folk (2003) is the only authorized and officially endorsed digital version of Shahn's well-known lettering.
