Buildshape
[Mauro Paolozzi]
Mauro Paolozzi (b. 1975) studied at Luzern School of Art and Design and graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2000. After completing the postgraduate class Type & Media (2000-2001), he maintained a platform for audio and visual art in The Hague (2001-2006). He has also been teaching at Fachklasse Grafik in Luzern since 2001. At the Swiss type foundry Lineto, he was co-designer of both LL Prismaset A and LL Prismaset B, roughly between 2006 and 2019. LL Prismaset is based on Rudolf Koch's Prisma (Klingspor, 1930). Mauro has designed identities for cultural institutions such as Kulturbeiz Wohlen, Schloss Lenzburg, and the Swiss Federal Office of Culture. He ran Buildshape. In 2015, Raphael Koch and Mauro Paolozzi co-designed GT Cinetype at Grilli Type. This typeface has outlines consisting of many short straight line segments, thus mimicking the now obsolete pre-digital age technique of laser printing subtitles in movies. At small sizes, the font looks very smooth, but at larger sizes, the straight segments become apparent. His custom typefaces include Blindalley (2001), Backdoor (2001), Spins (200) and Panty Boy (2000), Scsibar (2000). |
