Overview

Edicola Typeface

Edicola is a display serif typeface that balances liveliness with refinement. Its large terminals, sweeping letterforms, and irregular strokes evoke the charm of hand-painted signage, while clear proportions and sharp details make it ideal for large-scale use, such as storefronts and headlines.

DISCOVERY

Edicola takes its roots from a hand-painted sign in Murano, Italy. The sign, marking a small tabaccheria, carried irregular strokes and welcoming charm, a reminder of the everyday beauty found on Italian streets.
