BEAVTIFVL MISTAKES
By Zetafonts with Andrea Tartarelli and Mario de Libero
Andrea Tartarelli and Mario de Libero are type designers for Zetafonts foundry.
They have worked on tens of foundry families, creating both flexible workhorse fonts for text and beautiful expressive typefaces for display use. Andrea’s style blends the rigor of modern and old-style letterforms with the expressivity of penmanship and calligraphy, as demonstrated by his Calvino - an honorable mention by TDC Tokyo 2020; Mario’s work is based on a killer mix between vintage typography revivals and extreme visual innovations, as shown in Swanstone - honorable mention by DNA Paris 2022.
