EB Venezia, by Alan Madić and Clara Dousson, is a typeface inspired by the work produced for Olivetti and their typewriters. Designed in 1976 for the TES 501 electronic typewriter, a typeface named Venezia served as the basis for Madić and Dousson’s new typeface.

After an initial version, called Extra and designed whilst they were students, Madić and Dousson developed the design further into these smooth, rounded shapes, contrasting with the rigidity of typefaces for typewriters. They have developed a unique system of units allowing the typeface to have proportional spacing whilst remaining constrained within a precise grid, giving EB Venezia a pleasant texture for continuous reading.

The availability of several weights, from light to bold, makes it suitable for use across a wide range of media, from signage and book design to logos.

The typeface is still in development and will have an extended character set, fitting Électro-bibliothèque's standard. Italics are also in production and will be ready for the final release, scheduled for the end of 2026.

Called “Avant-première”, our beta program allows you to try and buy our upcoming typefaces. Buy the typefaces at a discount price, receive the complete font when they will be released.
