Alessandro Segalini is a communication designer who specializes in typography; his design and research interests include linguistics, book and editorial design, information design, typeface design, calligraphy and lettering, visual identities and designing for multiple languages. Currently he is a faculty member at Izmir University of Economics VCD department, focusing on typographic design and design education.

In regards to education, Alessandro strongly believes that knowledge is constructed by the learner through action—it is mediate, not immediate. Action initiated by the learner himself is the indispensable ingredient of the act of knowing, and art is with us to give structure to reality.

Hemingway™ the typeface has been selected for the UK Creative Review ‘Type Annual’ 2011 within the Display category. One of Alessandro’s sections of his Behance portfolio was featured on Typographyserved.com (02/2011) as a project that promotes new thinking in its industry.
