Discover the contemporary work of Francesca Luzzi

My professional career began in graphic and visual design, working for agencies, music festivals, independent labels, and cultural associations, both in Italy and France, where I have lived since 2011.

After settling in Paris, I expanded my experience by working with art institutions (galleries and publishing houses) as well as with communications and consulting agencies, as a visual and UX designer.

Throughout my design practice, I have constantly focused on my research and composition around typographic characters and letters.

After years as a professional designer, I obtained the DMA (Graphic Arts Diploma - Typography option) from the École Estienne in Paris.

In 2015, I began Studying formal calligraphy in Laurent Rebena's studio, learning Western calligraphy, from Roman scripts to modern variations, from a master.

Over the years, I have furthered my practice through residencies and masterclasses with master calligraphers – such as Monica Dengo, Elmo van Slingerland, Liesbet Boudens… – exploring the possibilities of creating letters and signs.

My current practice encompasses formal writing, lettering, and expressive calligraphy. Passionate about bookmaking and handmade paper, I also create unique art books, blending various techniques and materials.
