About the family


This series introduced in 1928 is inspired by the English civilité or bâtarde design — slightly rounded and without connecting strokes. Its classical design gives it a modern yet timeless appearance. As with other English hand scripts, it produces the perfect effect for delicate works where harmonious lines are required, such as letterheads, greeting cards, announcements, and visiting cards.

About Reber R41

Reber R41 is an Italian company founded in Spresiano, Treviso, in 1960 by Renato Bernardi, inventor of his own method of dry transfer type, and still run by his family. Since 1969, R41 has produced dry-transfer adaptations of iconic designs from Nebiolo Type Foundry, including its most experimental creations designed for the booming Italian advertising industry. Designer Aldo Novarese, who retired from Nebiolo in the early ’70s, worked with Reber R41 for years afterward designing brands, catalogues, advertising and of course…typefaces. Now Reber R41 provides new digitizations of the work of Novarese and Nebiolo of Turin, brought together in a unique collection that preserves the best of historic Italian typography of the twentieth century.
