Work: Coladonato Typeface (2022)

Coladonato Typeface was born from the pain of a loss. The man who raised me passed away, but left me with a lot. So it was my job at least, to leave him (who was a typographer) with a full-blown typeface thinking of him, making the typeface so that represented the warmth that he gave me. Coladonato is not only a surname, but it has also become a motivation for me, a drive to keep doing everything I do, both design-wise and generally in my life. I just hope he can be proud. I hope soon, I will be able to make it functional and usable. For now it will be a monument to Gionata Coladonato, the man who taught me to create.
