ABOUT

Guido Modiano

Type designer who collaborated with the Reggiano Type foundry in Milan on modernist typefaces in the 1930s. His typefaces include Ciclope, which was launched during the 1930s by the Fonderia Tipografica Reggiani, a type foundry based in Milan. The typeface has a strong and bold look, characteristic of the Italian art deco style. For a modern revival, see Now Type's Ciclope (2017). At Reggiani he also published the all caps art deco typeface Triennale (1933).

Astigmatic's Righteous (free at Google Web Fonts) is inspired by the all capitals letterforms from the deco posters of Hungarian artist Robert Berény for Modiano.
