Aldo Novarese

Aldo Novarese

Aldo Novarese (1920 in Pontestura Monferrato – 1995 in Turin) was an Italian type designer who lived and worked mostly in Turin. He worked in the Nebiolo type foundry and produced an impressive number of unique designs.

One of Novarese's most famous designs is the Microgramma typeface (designed with Alessandro Butti), which was later renamed Eurostile with the addition of lower-case letters. It utilized the shape of the square, reflecting the modern designs that were gaining popularity at the time, such as television screens and airplane windows. It became very popular as a typeface that evokes technology (it can be seen on the speedometers on many cars and vehicles, particularly older models).

Novarese's designs were both innovative and classical, and those which are still available today display great variety and memorable characteristics.

Aldo Novarese was the creator of fonts like : Egizio, Juliet (1954), Garaldus (1956), Slogan (1957), Recta (1958), Estro (1961), Eurostile (1962), Forma, Magister (1966),Metropol (1967), Delta (1968), Elite (1969), Fenice (1970), Stop (1971), Dattilo (1974), Novarese (1978), Floreal, Mixage (1980), Expert (1981)Symbol (1982)
