Client: Magazzini Salani Publishing House

Original title: Strange Planet

Author: Nathan W. Pyle

Magazzini Salani Publishing House asked me to draw the lettering for the Italian version of Nathan W. Pyle’s Strange Planet. I decided to create the digital version of Nathan’s calligraphy. That was a big responsibility to me: I wanted to respect the original touch, but I had not the time to hand draw each cartoon. So I projected a font with four glyph per each character to avoid the risk was to seem too “digital”.
