I’m a designer and researcher, visiting research fellow at the University of Reading where in 2019 I completed my PhD 'A new method of analysing printed type: the case of 15th-century Venetian romans'. In the early 2010s I lectured in Typography at the University of Bolzano, and from the late 1990s I freelanced as a type and graphic designer in Milan and elsewhere in northern Italy. I publish articles and lecture across Europe and I’m a board member of the Nebiolo History Project. I'm a member and co-founder of CAST, Cooperativa Anonima Servizi Tipografici.
