Inspired by Italian Telegraficois a typeface that ticks many of the aesthetic boxes that appeal to designers: uniform stroke weight and letter widths, sharp apexes (AMNVW), and circular rounds (CGO). Unfortunately, those who eagerly snag the free font soon discover that Telegrafico is a hobbyist effort, not really suited for professional design. Not only does it lack a lowercase, accented characters, and even punctuation, but many of the existing caps are in need of a skilled designer's touch. The geometry is not VF Sans, Telefon, DTL Nobel, Neutraface, Mostra, Verlag, Relay, or the newly released Apres.

Still, Telegrafico is undeniably attractive to lovers of Art Deco and Geometric sans serifs, who flood Nicolosi's Akzidenz-Grotesk.

Despite these compromises, it's easy to overlook the type's faults at this small size, and it does its job remarkably well, serving as a sort of post-apocolyptic industrial techno-glitch. The subtle shadow overlays, referencing the view from a moving train, are a nice touch. Watch the clip below.
