About
Part of Playtype's Italian Plate family, this display variant is calibrated for headline and poster use where the engraved character of the series reads at its strongest. The series takes cues from Italian plate engraving traditions, reframed for contemporary editorial and identity contexts. Minimal page content was available, but the naming convention places it firmly in the optical display tier of the broader Italian Plate range.
