Influenced by Italian hand-lettered posters from the early twentieth century, #Portofino by @tipofili is a charming display typeface with expressive forms complementing its underlying geometric proportions. 👉 License Portofino on TN: buff.ly/3ZUuQxQ

As a part of @louisefili’s rebrand of Triennes, we drew a custom script that was tailored to work at a fairly small size while still feeling at home with the logotype.

An Art Deco-inspired typeface based on Louise Fili’s iconic cover design for The Lover, @tipofili's #Marseille comes in six weights, giving it a variety of expressions while remaining timelessly elegant. 👉 License Marseille here: buff.ly/3YDQaGO

Here is a sneak peek of the redesigned packaging for Royale Montaine, a cognac and orange liqueur. The seal features Marseille from @Tipofili which we modified using its OpenType features. We’ll share the whole bottle and label once it hits the shelves later this spring.

Louise just returned from Rome, so of course she brought back some chocolate! While they were tying the ribbon around the box, Louise specifically asked them to include this sticker. ❤️ #moriondoegariglio

#Montecatini from @tipofili takes its cues from the elegant Stile Liberty travel posters of early 1900s Italy. The 24-style family spans six weights and four widths to create a vibrant typographic system. 👉 License Montecatini here: buff.ly/3W6TXui

@BrentSchoepf Perhaps it is further along that I remembered! Admittedly, Louise and Andy haven’t even seen this version yet…

Lookin' for some FONTS in this realm — anything come to mind?

@typegirl We actually have a Italian sans in the works that is a little reminiscent of Bernhardt Gothic (albeit a little simpler actually)! Check the @ in Portofino for a small taste of a potential lowercase direction. I’ll definitely sketch something up now!

@tipofili I understand that they are meant to be more display, more monumental so to speak. But I can see Portofino sort of as an Italian take on Berhardt Gothic.

@tipofili Do you think you might ever expand Portofino or Montecatini to include lowercase? Or maybe riff off of them to become more inclusive of the lowercase?

@typegirl I’m glad you mentioned it though because I think it has potential, and am curious if I can get Louise on board. Montecatini is a much bigger question, and I must admit I don’t think we have really considered it. —Matthew

@typegirl I had floated the idea of a lowercase for Portofino, but Louise had no interest at the time. However, I have been thinking about it a lot lately, and may bring the idea back up (before the font sells more and presents a huge legacy issue).
