during a drawing session between Biró and her friend Louise, copywriter.
It's not a traditional "studio", but it's a NETWORK of brains, hands and hearts.
Illustration, animation, graphic design, type design, character design,
visual performances and visuals for events
are some of our activities.
Biró (aka Roberta Maddalena) was born in 1981.
Actually she lives and works in Milan.
She has devoted herself to drawing since she was a child, firmly convinced that it was her calling. Music made her change her mind temporarily.
Today, signs and sounds are her lifeblood… and a thin thread of irony the alchemy between them.
She works in Milan as an illustrator and graphic designer.
Heterogeneous situations incite her collaboration and the only chair on which she manages to sit for at least three consecutive hours is the one at her desk.
She has worked in calcography as an artist and teacher. During this experience, she graduated in Graphic Design, then in Type Design. Now she’s working as an illustrator with calligraphy and handmade type. She studied for a long time traditions from the Far East and Ethnomusicology. So, in addition to wearing the smock of an illustrator and a designer, she cooperates as a performer with musicians and artists, working with signs and sounds.

She makes beautiful handmade books.

He studied Design at Politecnico of Milan and today, all his professional life rotate around typography: he can't be insensitive viewing a bad kerning also when he's able to leave work at home and start travelling.
As type designer freelance he develops font, as teacher he teaches at Accademia Santagiulia, at Politecnico of Milan and at Bauer where he tries, lesson after lesson, to infect students with typography virus.
In addition to love for letters, he adores cinema, that perhaps is the thing that makes him feel better in the world, he loves travelling, eating and cooking.
