The right way to BE UNIQUE

Palatino

 

Typography is a two-dimensional architecture. It is based on experience and imagination and guided by the rules of proportion and legibility

 

Hermann Zapf (1918 – 2015)

Anima Linotype

Visible from the outside due to the subtle transparency of the acetate and made to an exclusive Good’s design, it reproduces - with an engraved inscription - the right way to look at things developed from right to left, like the lead lines produced by the traditional Linotype typographic machine, invented in 1886 and defined by Thomas Edison as The Eighth Wonder of the World.

Inspiration

Our Palatino frame style is inspired by the Palatino typeface, designed by Herman Zapf in 1948 and highly appreciated for its legibility.
It is named after Giambattista Palatino, a calligraphy master who lived around the same time as Leonardo da Vinci. Palatino is a typeface based on the classical forms of the Italian Renaissance and has become a modern classic, popular among professional and amateur graphic designers alike.

Description

Biocetate: the frame is in Mazzucchelli M49 bioacetate, 100% recyclable and biodegradable, without chemical agglomerates to avoid allergic reactions and its natural origin is also revealed to the touch with a pleasant “warm and silky effect”.

Frame front: Our Palatino frame style draws inspiration from the original font’s design, imitating its light features and proportions. This frame is decisive yet playful. The opaline top interacts with the translucent base in a trompe d’oeil effect that lightens the perceptive weight of the frame by concealing some of its functional elements, such as the bridge, which is partially transparent.

Temples: The temple is attached to the front via a UPN hinge through two riveted rivets, leaving the metal hinge visible. The perforated ‘O’ from the Good’s branding is reproduced at the edge of each temple.

Hinge: the exclusive hinge created by Good’s, inspired by the UPN metal beam used in construction, runs entirely through the acetate front end and is anchored with a lateral screw that allows for greater stability and ease of replacement.

Curiosity

Palatino’s distinct readability made it ideal for publications on low-grade paper used for newspapers and magazines after World War II.
