Federico Alfonsetti was born in Turin (Italy) in 1953. During the graphic design studies, a strong “passion” for typefaces grew in him, thanks to his teacher. This passion marked all his professional life.In 1971, once he finished his studies, he starded working in Publishing, as graphic designer, for a Turinese major typographic company.In 1977, in a state of social and political ferment, he founds a Press Center to serve democratic and progressive realities.Characters were still made in lead, and the working tools were: pencil, paintbrush, drafts, scissors and glue. In late 80s, he found all this tools contained together in a “magical” plastic box: his first personal computer Macintosh.In 1999 he launched his graphic studio: Alfonsetti Comunicare S.r.l.In 2001 he became co-founder of the Publishing House edizioni Angolo Manzoni S.r.l., and he started designing series characterized by high-legibility layouts and fonts.In 2002 he had a second flash of intuition: he learned about dyslexics’ difficulties in reading and so he decided to create a font that could be helpful for them. So he started an accurate scientific documentation and a listening of many dyslexic young people’s stories.In 2010, after eight years of design and realization, the EasyReading® Dyslexia Friendly font saw the light of day. A font expressly dedicated to dyslexic readers and, at the same time - thanks to the Design For All approach - to every kind of reader.EasyReading is the only font explicitly “dedicated” to dyslexic readers which, subjected to autonomous and independent scientific researches on the degree of legibility, has achieved positive results: “The results of the study were both statistically and clinically significant, proving that EasyReading® can be considered a compensating tool for readers with dyslexia, and a facilitating font for all categories of readers”. (Brain Sciences 2018 8(5) 89, Mpdi, Basel. Dyslexia and Fonts: Is a Specific Font Useful?, by Christina Bachmann and Lauro Mengheri).In 2014 he became co-founder of the EasyReading Multimedia S.r.l., which promotes both the researches on high-legibility and the marketing of the EasyReading® Dyslexia Friendly font.
