Antonio Sinibaldi Late fifteenth century Italian renaissance era calligrapher who was based in Florence, and who was famous for his florentine style of antiqua and cancellaresca. His alphabets inspired many typefaces, such as Petrarch (ATF), Sinibaldi (1926, Raffaello Bertieri) and Bologna (1946, Stephenson Blake). Digital typefaces based on his work: 1480 Humanistica (2010) by Klaus-Peter Schäffel. Antonio, Sinibaldi and Magnifico (Maria Chiaro=i Fantini, 2021). In 2021, Fantini embarked on a project to create a font based on Antonio Sinibaldi's calligraphic material in Libro d'Ore di Lorenzo de Medici, now in possession of the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana di Firenze. Her first rough font was called Antonio. She also studied Raffaello Bertieri's Sinibaldi font done in 1928 at the Nebiolo Type Foundry when she designed her own digital version of Sinibaldi (2021). The latter font was regularized and smoothed in her final typeface in this project, Magnifico (2021).
