Un Sedicesimo, which, in Italian, refers to a 16-page signature, is an
experimental magazine (or booklet, depending on your perspective) published by
Corraini Edizioni in which illustrators and designers are invited to do whatever strikes their fancy for 16 pages.
Louise Fili and I just completed one devoted to luscious
script typefaces. But other artists, including Italo Lupi, Steven Guarnaccia,
Daniel Eatock, Paul Cox, and more, have each assembled their own modern-day festschrifts that reveal their respective passions, obsessions, and folly for images, letters, and assorted things.
Un Sedicesimo is not the only one of its kind.
The Pentagram Papers and
The Push Pin Graphic are among the most famous. But one of the first was
Feliks Topolski's Chronicles, a journal of his
drawings from the 1930s through the 1940s.
