This volume presents sixteen rare facsimile specimen booklets from the Società Nebiolo foundry, showcasing the prolific career of Italian designer Aldo Novarese. Spanning the 1930s through the 1960s, these documents capture the transition of metal type design into the modern era. The collection offers a comprehensive look at Novarese’s roman, script, sans serif, and display typefaces, preserved as essential historical artifacts of mid-century typographic craft.
