Marcello Nizzoli
Italian artist, architect, industrial and graphic designer, 1887-1969. After graduating from the Accademia di Belle Arti of Parma in 1913, he worked as a draughtsman in Milan until World War I. The influence of futurism and Fortunato Depero influenced his later work. He was the chief designer for Olivetti for many years and was responsible for the Olivetti typewriter Lexicon 80 (1948) and the iconic Lettera 22 portable typewriter (1950). Nizzoli's style inspired Nizzoli (2017, Luciano Vergara for Los Andes), a modular, almost sci-fi, sans typeface family. |
