THE BRIEF
The typeface is named in honour of a wonderful wise old lady called Mizzi, who cherished the art of storytelling and helped the designer in her young years read the stories in old handwritten letters from the Second World War. Inspired by her wisdom and traditional craftsmanship, this typeface is past perfect and future ready.

Inspiration
Mizzi gracefully combines the boldness of contemporary design with the delicate nostalgia of the fountain pen strokes. It’s a timeless beauty created for Logo design, branding, magazine headers and many other projects with a high-end, fashionable aesthetic.

The Making
The project involved exploring and analysing diverse examples of letterforms and numerals to develop a unique type design. The visual audit helped guide her towards a specific design direction. With the foundational work in place, she began sketching different letterforms - a stage that felt free and intuitive, inspired by the approach of David Carson. After discovering one promising letter, she then designed the entire alphabet, balancing modern bold lines with elegant calligraphic strokes.
