ABC Laica is a contemporary typeface born from the experimental fusion of two contrasting calligraphic tools—the broad nib and the pointed nib pen. Designed by Alessio D’Ellena and produced by Dinamo, the typeface balances chiseled and straight transitions to create a dynamic yet harmonious rhythm suited for both text and display use.
