Designer's Notes

Recreated this fonts from photos made in the Firenze Santa Maria Novella station.

The station was designed in 1932 by a group of architects known as the Gruppo Toscano (Tuscan Group) of which Giovanni Michelucci and Italo Gamberini were among the members; the building was constructed between 1932 and 1934.
