Explore Venice’s vintage hand-lettered signs and typographical history on a walk with a calligrapher and graphic designer, learning about a rich local tradition that dates back to figures like the 15th-century printer Aldus Manutius.
• I’ll guide you to some of the city’s most enduring businesses, each displaying a hand-decorated sign infused with its own history.
• See the names of delicatessens, cafes, and cocktail bars beautifully rendered in wood, wrought iron, and reverse-painted glass, and hear about the craftsmen behind the work.
• At each stop, discuss the sign’s typographic style, techniques, and materials. I’ll show you how to look for hidden details cherished by locals.
You’ll leave with an eye for typographic details and the stories they represent, as well as a card featuring a lettering composition inspired by the designs we’ve seen.
