| Resumo: | [EN] In this study we go back to the Italian Renaissance, in order to understand the genesis of the Italic or Cursive typeface. These early fonts were born with the intention of saving space on the page. Currently, their use is not the same, but they are the letters that have evolved into our digital fonts and those that we choose as Italic/Cursive fonts in our editing or typesetting programs. This knowledge, the result of the study of these and other contemporary references, has been channelled towards the creation of two italic variants of the Alaia typeface. The last section of the current work shows the process of creation, drawing and preliminary development of the signs, turned into their typographic samples. |
