Rhinestone
Source material: Egizio Nebiolo Foundry (Turin)
Spring semester 2022
Rhinestone is a revival of Egizio by Nebiolo Foundry in Turin. I was in search of a condensed display typeface and the dramatic ball terminals and elongated serifs of Egizio stood out. While I did systemize the typeface, it remains dramatic, slightly ostentatious, and fun—much like a rhinestone-adorned country artist.
