Emanuele gave some advice to aspiring graphic designers: “Do you want to express luxury? Then better a serif font or an elegant script. Do you want to express innovation? Then a sans serif and neutral typography may be the right choice.” He also added that the biggest mistake a brand can make when choosing the font is relying on their own or the customer’s taste. “I love Futura, but when I design, I put my personal tastes aside in favor of the concept I want to enhance,” said the designer.
