Exactitude and visibility are translated typographically in Calvino typeface through the reference to sixteenth century garalde typography and its controlled, highly legible letterforms. To balance this formal rigor, lightness and quickness were added by letting the design be inspired by the calligraphic hand. The idea of multiplicity was kept central, developing Calvino in a range of weights encompassing both display and text use cases, and then expanding the design space with the inclusion of a display sub-family, Calvino Grande, to provide users with a full typographic palette to cover all editorial needs.
