Michelangelus is a typeface designed by Studiogusto for the Fabbrica di San Pietro in Vaticano, licensed to and distributed by Microsoft.
Michelangelus presents a typeface through its birthplace — St. Peter's Square rendered as a pink-and-violet halftone 3D model, with columns and dome glowing like a vintage print. Designers will like how the colour treatment ties classical architecture to a contemporary type release.
Animation developers can study the scroll-driven 3D camera that moves through the square while Lenis keeps the motion silky, before the specimen sections take over. It's a strong reference for type foundries and cultural projects that want a launch to feel like an experience.
