A typeface that carries the weight of tradition on its shoulders — and the lightness of style.

Spalla is an all-caps display typeface designed in 9 styles plus a variable version, gliding between the delicate and the bold without missing a beat. With classical proportions, touches of Italian Art Deco, and a spirit that shifts between the dramatic and the elegant, it was made to stand out.

Its name comes from Italian: “spalla,” meaning shoulder. In opera, in theatre, in music — the “spalla” is the one who holds, supports, and guides. And that’s exactly what this typeface does: it offers visual structure with personality and poise.

Spalla’s construction carries an architectural flair, but its soul is performative. Think golden signs in a café in Milan. Vintage film posters in Rome. The graphic flourishes that make everyday Italian life a typographic delight.

With over 290 glyphs and support for 27 languages, Spalla is perfect for projects that need a strong voice with style — whether in editorial, packaging, branding, or the façade of a brand that carries itself with poise.
