> Napoli Segreta Funk Style >> Design Philosophy
The feMMMMag website adopts a distinctive style characterized by warm tones, rounded elements, and a fusion of eclectic fonts. This unique design choice is aimed at creating a visually appealing and memorable user experience.
"Napoli Segreta Vol. 1" is not merely a musical compilation; it is a carefully curated journey into the hidden gems of Neapolitan disco and funk, presented with a keen eye for design and aesthetics. The intentional choices in artwork, typography, and special edition offerings come together to create an immersive experience that transports the audience to the vibrant and pulsating era of Naples' musical history.
The typographic elements of "Napoli Segreta" are a careful selection that contributes to the overall retro aesthetic. The primary typeface, Domino, was originally designed by the Demarchi siblings and was a winner in a Mecanorma typeface design contest in 1972. This choice anchors the design in the authenticity of the era, connecting the visual identity directly to the 1970s design landscape. The subtitle, using outlined Blippo from 1969, adds a touch of boldness and character to the overall typographic composition. Blippo, a sturdier typeface from the same genre, complements Domino and enhances the visual impact of the album's title. To complete the typographic ensemble, the use of Busorama from 1970 in the limited edition soft drink promotion adds a playful and dynamic element to the project. This varied selection of typefaces not only pays homage to the diversity of the design landscape of the 70s and 80s but also reflects the rich and multifaceted nature of the Neapolitan disco and funk scene.
