Studio 23.56 is the collective within Archivio Tipografico dedicated to graphic and type design, connecting the analog and the digital, bridging historical roots with contemporary possibilities.

Its practice combines research, design, and production, exploring the intersection between traditional printing methods and contemporary communication tools.
The studio is made up of a group of people who share time, energy, resources, and experience — united by a fascination with the cyclical nature of visual languages and by a design approach grounded in technical and historical research.

The number 23.56 refers to the height, expressed in millimeters, that any printing plate must have to be used on our presses. A plate lower than this height won’t print; one higher will be damaged.

This number tells a lot about us: our attention to detail and our belief that the best design solutions arise from a balance between technical knowledge, method, and the ability to identify opportunities for experimentation.

The studio collaborates regularly with cultural organizations such as ARCI, Cento Amici del Libro, Metronimie Festival, Galleria Franco Noero, Taschen Books, and A24, as well as with clients who value artisanal excellence, including Bottega Veneta, Ristorante Carignano, Ristorante Del Cambio, Marc Jacobs, Gabriela Hearst, and Wales Bonner.
