Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAntonio Cavedoni is a Milan-based type designer and software-savvy creative with 19 years of experience blending typeface design, lettering and web development. As founder of Fonderia Cavedoni and a former member of Apple’s Type Group, he has shipped retail type families and worked on display text used across consumer devices. His background spans hands-on font development, custom lettering and full-stack web builds dating back to early web and Flash era studios, reflecting deep technical fluency alongside craft-driven aesthetics. Trained with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading and an MS in Communications, he’s as comfortable drawing glyphs as scripting tooling to produce them—a maker who treats letters as both design and engineered systems.
