The Italian Plate super family is 341 weights and styles that extracts decades of Italian typeface design. The original No1 is based on a study of Italian number plates from the 60‘s, and inspired by the round and condensed profile and characteristic of that period. The elliptical upwards shape as basic design pattern, the equal stem width and the straight terminals across styles is what defines the Italian Plate super family. No2 Expanded is an airy and full-bodied typeface. The original look is maintained, but has acquired edge through the sharpening of its endings, whilst the legibility is increased through the widening of the letters and the adding of more space. The open spaces and round shapes on letters such as 'a', 'c', 'h', 'o' and 'q' widen the type enormously, giving it a generous texture with a nice legibility. The complete super family goes from No1 to No7 in a mix of various type classes and widths – all in 10 weights with corresponding Italics and loaded with alternatives.
