Dattilo DJR revives the slab serif counterpart to Forma, released
between 1972 and 1974 by the renowned type foundry Nebiolo and created by
a team of Italian designers led by the inimitable Aldo Novarese. Like
Forma DJR, this revival attempts to bring new life to this bygone era of
typography, embodying the peculiar collision of midcentury modernist
idealism with the smudgy realities of metal, ink, and paper. With rounded
corners and tapered serifs, the type- face pairs well with Forma DJR, but
has a typewriter-influenced personality that is distinct from its
neo-grotesque counterpart.
