Small Caps is an art, graphic and screen printing studio in Venice founded by Paolo Roggero and Federico Arzenton, two graphic designers and printers who met during their university studies in architecture.
United by their passion for paper and typography, they opened their atelier in 2012: today their work is divided between graphic design, visual communication and personal creations, combining digital and craft skills.
The process of making a piece begins with the pencil sketch on paper, continues with the choice of inks, and ends with the limited-run silkscreen printing: a process that is still artisanal, a kind of miniature supply chain, giving life to poetic illustrations that also make this studio a small art gallery.
Their prints are inspired by Venice and the views of the Lagoon, with over one hundred different subjects, giving back a contemporary cross-section of the city, far from the imagery of the tourist dimension; but instead redeeming, with acute irony, the identity and dignity of a living Venice, made of excellences and criticalities.
Their auteur posters thus become manifestos: works of graphic design, but also and above all handcrafted prints, intelligent souvenirs and sincere tales of life in the Lagoon.
