A NOTE ON THE TYPE

Guardi was designed by Reinhard Haus of Linotype in 1987.

It was named after the Guardi brothers, Gianantonio and Francesco, the last famous artists from the Renaissance Venetian school
of painting. It is based on the Venetian text styles of the fifteenth century. The influence of characters originally written
with a feather can be seen in many aspects of this modern alphabet.
