Following to Swiss design principles, Alessandro Butti and Aldo Novarese designed the Microgramma font for the Nebiolo typefoundry in 1952. Microgramma is wide, almost like an "extended" font, and it has the typical look of 1950s industrial design. The font has been immensely popular as a display face ever since its original release.
