Inside the Studio: Creative Characters — Giuseppe & Paco

Chat with font-designing partners Giuseppe Salerno, 43, and Paco Gonzalez, 46, of Resistenza (meaning: resistance) Type Foundry, based in Torino, Italy, and Valencia, Spain, and get a lesson in lettering history. The pair are dedicated to producing typefaces via an artisanal process — creating hand lettering through calligraphy — before digitizing the fonts for the contemporary market.
