About the Font
Based on and derived from Didot, for its skeleton and high contrasts, this font is quite formal, although there are small, more playful elements given by the various serifs and some slightly more modern letters.
About the process
The creative process went throug the selection of a well known font, the tracing of its skeleton and after the creation of brushes and ideation and developing of its serifs, endings, terminals and all other peculiarities of our choice.

About “Design meets handicap”
The main theme of the whole process has been “Design meets handicap”: this aimed to make students from the Free university of Bolzano-Bozen collaborate whith the “Protected workshops for people with disabilities” of Prad and Latsch in Val Venosta, for designing new products and creating activities to pitch to both structures.
About the project
“The Wooden Set” and “Skiaccio” were given birth at the end of two different design sprints, both of which aimed to enhance their production area and the tradition.
What makes those two products stand out above all else on the market is the particular care in choosing materials and testing production processes personally, to fulfill all the needs and the attentions required by the laboratories which collaborate with us.
Cooking natural keeping traditions
About design sprint 1
The Wooden Set includes three wooden kitchen tools that take inspiration from the tradition behind the classic wooden spoon, the basis of every italian, and not only, kitchen!
The process started with the tracing of the recurrent shapes in the chosen reference objects to continue with a deep resarch on the details, which make those tools so peculiar: for instance the holes, the various edges or the semispheres.
About design sprint 2
Skiaccio was born from an antique brass mortar found in the collection of the Dietenheim FolkloreMuseum. In this case, the starting object was fundamental as it was followed by a redesign process that considered and used a series of ethnographic issues and questions related to it as strength points. Here the basis was playing with basic geometrical shapes to simplify to the maximus its production.
