FEATURES...
Where is October Serif born from?
October Serif was elaborated from Archer Book. The process took a long time and the final result arrived only after many steps. The name "October" reflects the idea of making this font eerie with "fang"â&#x2C6;&#x2019;shaped serifs recalling to Halloween and the many stories about vampires.

October Serif was brought to life
during the WUP semester 2018/2019
and it is made with thicker strokes of Archer Book and with an inclination of 40°, editing all serifs of Archer Book by making some of them fangâ&#x2C6;&#x2019;shaped and others just more curvy than the original ones.

È ancora possibile la poesia Estratto dal discorso per il Premio Nobel alla Letteratura di Eugenio Montale (12 dicembre 1975) "Si potrebbero moltiplicare le domande con l'unico risultato che non solo la poesia, ma tutto il mondo dell'espressione artistica o sedicente tale è entrato in una crisi che è strettamente legata alla condizione umana, al nostro esistere di esseri umani, alla nostra certezza o illusione di crederci esseri privilegiati, i soli che si credono padroni della loro sorte e depositari di un destino che nessun'altra creatura vivente può vantare. Inutile dunque chiedersi quale sarà il destino delle arti. È come chiedersi se l'uomo di domani, di un domani magari lontanissimo, potrà risolvere le tragichecontraddizioni in cui si dibatte fin dal primo giorno della Creazione (e se di un tale giorno, che può essere un'epoca sterminata, possa ancora parlarsi)."
