Fenice Font

The Fenice font style was developed by Aldo Novarese. He was born in 1920 in Pontestura, Italy. In 1930 he went to the Sculoa Artieri Stampatori to study print. When he was sixteen he joined the Nebilolo foundry and in 1952 he became an art director at Nebilolo. In 1975, he left the Nebilolo foundry to become a freelance typeface designer. In 1977, he began working on Fenice and then ITC licensed it in 1980. Fenice was made in the design of Didot and Bodoni. Its' style is more condensed and has a larger x-height, giving it more visibility. It has very few difficulties that Didot and Bodoni had, which makes it incredibley easy to use.
