Casagrande Collection has been designed in 2020 by Italiantype working in close collaboration with Italian lettering artist, illustrator and calligrapher Alberto Casagrande, with help from the Zetafonts Team. The goal of the project was to use as inspiration the colourful, vintage themed digital illustration style by Alberto to develop a suite of closely related typefaces that, used together, would allow designers to replicate the effect of Italian poster and product design from the thirties and forties. Two color overprints, coarse dithering, handmade calligraphy, reminiscences of art deco and liberty, hints of modernism and pop culture references: all this and more mixed in a exuberant and playful collection, created with illustrators, poster artists and book cover designers in mind.

The final product is 24-font package with six display families with styles varying from the thirties-inspired Antifascista (3 weights + 3 dithering weights) and Deco (3 weights + 3 inline weights), to the modernist Casabau (5 weights), to the geometric Grind (4 widths), to the vintage elegance of the two script families, Reclame and Casatiello. The collection is complemented by a two-color icon set font, Casagrande Ornaments, allowing you to easily explore the creative possibilities of this incredibily powerful creative collection.
