About
After obtaining a degree in Graphic Design at NABA in Milan, I began my professional career in 2022 collaborating with Frab’s Magazines, an independent publishing platform, where I developed my interest in editorial design.
                 The same year, I started working as a Brand Designer, developing a practice across branding and digital design, where conceptual rigor meets strong visual sensitivity.
                 In 2024, I expanded my expertise through a Type Design course at CFP Bauer, further exploring the expressive potential of typography within visual communication.
                 My approach is driven by constant curiosity and a desire to explore different fields of visual communication.

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.
