Resistenza

Resistenza is the first italo-spanish type foundry based in Valencia, Spain and Torino, Italy, founded in 2008 with over 100 font families. Specialised in calligraphic, display and handwritten fonts.

Resistenza specializes in type-design, branding, calligraphy & lettering. Giuseppe Salerno and Paco González are the two founders, italian and spanish, their passion for writing and handcrafted lettering became their strengths. Brushy types, calligraphic strokes, originality in faces are their best distinguished characteristic. The first type was Afrobeat, a multiline circular type that grows up very fast and became their first product on the list. But afterwards many other experiments and more expressive designs like Berliner Fraktur, or an english copperplate like Copperlove bring Giuseppe Salerno’s hand into a typeface.
