Author's note

Telegrafico, designed by Salvo Nicolosi, is a free geometric sans serif with clean uppercase forms and an industrial edge. Broad letters are built from firm verticals, level bars, and near-circular curves. The strokes stay even and unadorned.

It is strongest in signage, where its open construction and blunt geometry read as direct and purposeful. The same engineered shapes suit transport posters, technology branding, and event graphics, especially when lines, grids, or map-like illustrations echo the lettering's simple structure.

Description
Carattere ispirato al razionalismo italiano. Disegnato sul modello di caratteri visti talmente dappertutto da non ricordare esattamente dove; soprattutto nella scritta "Poste e telegrafi", da cui il nome. Un carattere molto simile (direi che è una versione "extended") è presente sotto forma di bellissimi caratteri "solidi" sullla facciata del palazzo delle poste di Napoli.
