An experimental unicase design.
This is a clone of SBB RunaboutA winning, small-matrix rendition of this super-elliptical monoline sans. If you’d like, please enjoy a private clone to tour the brand-spankin’ new interiors.
I embraced innovation at the expense of imperfection with faux-curve composite stacks. These custom bricks are used to resolve the most glaring proportion issues besetting version 1 (and 2’s) capitals. I risk intermittent aliasing as well as potential inconsistencies in both curvature and stroke contrast. Yet these composite-stack discontinuities (A,C,D,G,J,O,Q,S,U,V) marry unexpectedly well with the extensively used macaroni bricks and remain themselves smooth up to an impressive 72pt.
Manual kerning leaves a lot of room for improvement. The alternates are included mostly for curiosity’s sake. Another work in progress with samples to follow. Feedback is always very appreciated; thanks in advance for it! :)

CHANGELOG
• 2017:11:30 — PUT THE STRIKETHROUGH ON THE CAPITAL ACCENTED CHARACTERS. ALSO FIXED A SPACING ERROR WITH THE “$” SYMBOL.
• 2017:12:01 — DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, I HAVE ADDED A HUNDRED AND FIFTY NEW AND ACCENTED CHARACTERS.
• 2017:12:02 — ADDED EIGHTY-SIX MORE CHARACTERS, BRINGING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS TO THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-ONE. ALSO UPDATED THE “¥” SYMBOL AND THE SINGLE ACCENTS.
An old idea from the early 2010 put in their original colours. The lowercase repeats the same coloration from the uppercase changing the position to improve the artistic view of the typing words changing some letters. Just a silly font, enjoy it please. And Happy New Year 2022!

During developement, the tool has taken over, also helped by the scarcity of letters available in the original, making the design more sans than serif, and with strong MICR vibes in some places.
The name means "shoe shop" (also shoe repair or shoe making) in Italian.
