Paradiso

  • Lucy Hart

A typographic interpretation of Canto 33 of Paradiso from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy for the 2020 ISTD Student Briefs.

To accentuate the delicacy of the type, a small body text was used along with light paper stock, which also imitated Bible paper and further referenced the book's content.
The black body reads as the original Canto whilst the red is an interpretation of the content, the red body in the margains providing translations for words in old English.
