Tipoteca Italiana Fondazione web app
On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, Tipoteca Italiana Fondazione launched its new web app, a multimedia tool designed to enhance and expand the visitor experience.
Conceived as a 20-stage digital journey through the exhibition, the web app offers users an interactive guide enriched with audio content, descriptive texts, and historical documents. It is accessible free of charge via smartphone at app.tipoteca.it, whether used on-site for an independent visit or off-site to explore Tipoteca’s extensive archival collections.
This new tool features typefaces specifically developed for digital environments, inspired by the rich heritage of Italian typography. For its debut, the web app showcases Fabbrica, a typeface designed by Michele Patanè for CAST Foundry.
Tipoteca Italiana is a unique museum dedicated to the history and culture of type and printing. More than a traditional museum, it functions as a vibrant hub encompassing an archive, print shop, library, gallery, and auditorium. Through its exhibitions, workshops, and public programs, Tipoteca fosters dialogue between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design. It stands as Italy’s most important institution devoted to the art of letterpress and typographic heritage.
