Mario: Esperimento tipografico generato con l'AI ispirato a Mario Salvi, ex calligrafo della cartiera Pigna di Alzano Lombardo (Bergamo). La creazione della tipografia è iniziata fornendo all'intelligenza artificiale foto di bozze e schizzi risalenti agli inizi del 1900, disegnati da Mario e ritrovati nella sua cantina. Dopo aver processato queste immagini, l'AI ha iniziato a generare diverse varianti, combinando gli schizzi di Mario con tipografie contemporanee e senza grazie. Gli output generati sono stati successivamente utilizzati in Midjourney per creare tavole tipografiche con diverse varianti di una stessa lettera. Sono state poi selezionate quelle che interagivano meglio tra loro per sviluppare una font. Il contrasto tra la calligrafia classica e quella moderna ha portato l'AI a generare lettere che mantengono una struttura lineare, interpretando gli elementi estetici delle grazie e integrandoli nelle lettere attraverso forme non convenzionali, ma che preservano comunque la leggibilità delle lettere.

Mario is a typographic experiment generated with AI Inspired by Mario Salvi, a former calligrapher at the Pigna paper mill in Alzano Lombardo (Bergamo). The creation of the typography began by feeding the artificial intelligence with photos of drafts and sketches from the early 1900s, drawn by Mario and found in his cellar. After processing these images, the AI started to generate various variants, combining Mario's sketches with contemporary, sans-serif typefaces. The outputs generated were then used in Midjourney to create typographic tables with different variants of the same letter. Those that interacted best with each other were then selected to develop a font. The contrast between classic and modern calligraphy led the AI to generate letters that maintain a linear structure, interpreting the aesthetic elements of the serifs and integrating them into the letters through unconventional shapes, yet still preserving legibility.
