About
After obtaining a degree in Graphic Design and Art Direction at NABA in Milan, I began my professional career in 2022 collaborating with Frab’s Magazines, an independent publishing platform, where I deepened my interest in editorial and publishing design.    
                In the same year, I joined I MILLE as a Brand Designer, contributing to projects for leading companies such as Maire, Enel, and Edenred.
                My practice spans across branding and digital design, combining conceptual rigor with strong visual sensitivity.
                 In 2024, I expanded my expertise by attending a Type Design course at CFP Bauer, strengthening my knowledge of typography as an expressive tool.
                 I continuously invest in enriching and broadening my skill set through a multidisciplinary approach, guided by a constant curiosity and attention to the evolving design landscape.

Bivacco

Work: Type Design
Year: 2026
Personal Project
 Bivacco is a display typeface inspired by mountain architecture, in particular alpine lodges and bivouacs. It blends different stylistic influences within a geometric grotesque , creating a strong presence in both headlines and medium-sized text settings.
 Bivouacs represent the challenge of essential living in extreme geographical conditions. This translates into a strict functional necessity and a radical approach to architectural solutions, often resulting in bold and uncompromising forms.

Design: Maria Vittoria Navati
Assistance: Anna Damoli, Beatrice D’Agostino, Antonella Sartorelli

Bivacco is a type design project, developed as a personal exploration of form and process.
                Inspired by the essential, functional architecture of alpine shelters, the typeface translates structural principles into a visual language defined by clean geometry, sharp angles, and softened curves.
                Distinctive cuts and subtle irregularities introduce tension and rhythm, balancing precision with expressive detail.
