Michele Patanè Graduate of Politecnico di Milano with a study on type and legibility, and of the MATD program at the University of Reading in 2012. Michele's graduation typeface at Reading was Overlook (2012), a typeface made for cinema magazines. It is built around a serif family, but also includes several neogrotesque sans weights, a Greek and a Devanagari (for Bollywood, I presume). From 2012 until 2019, he worked for Dalton Maag. Professor of type design at Poli Design in Milan (between 2007 and 2011) and in the Typeface Design master programs at the University of Reading, UK, and at ECAL in Lausanne, Switzerland. With Riccardo Olocco, Michele co-designed the caps typefaces Cordial Bloom (2009) and Cordial Cherry (2009). In 2018, he published Malden Sans at Monotype and wrote: Malden Sans is a mischievous humanist sans serif with charming details that gives designers a solid typographic voice. It was originally designed as part of a type system for cinema magazines, and embodies the devil-may care attitude of the silver screen. Cinetype (London, UK) is Michele's own type foundry. In 2020, Michele released the utilitarian perky-eared sans family Fabbrica.
