"Witches have always been the women who dared to be: courageous, aggressive, intelligent, nonconformist, explorers, curious, independent, sexually free, revolutionary."

Valerio Monopoli is an Italian graphic designer hailing from Rome that has already left an indelible mark on the typography scene. In all his work, Valerio mixes his unique aesthetic with a keen sense of readability and a deep knowledge of classical letterforms.
With Maligna, Valerio Monopoli brings his creativity to Zetafonts with a contemporary serif blending great display personality with flawless text readability. Coming in an extensive range of weight from a super sexy thin to an imposing bold, and featuring design details of infinite digital sharpness, Maligna brings Valerio's extraordinary vision to our Beats collection.
Maligna’s personality is mischievous, simple, and modern, softened by the rounded interlocks of the serifs. The signature uppercase "R" and lowercase "g" (whose truncated horizontal stroke hangs slightly below the baseline) make it immediately recognizable, as well as the serif details and characteristic shapes, which resemble floral appendices, thorns or spikes. The low contrast and extensive character set make it suitable for composing relatively small text, but its dimensionless vertices remain sharp at any size, making it an extremely versatile tool with useful display capabilities.

How to embrace the charm of evil for a richer and more diverse representation
In our media landscape the portrayal of female characters in literature and media has undergone a transformative shift,challenging traditional archetypes and empowering women to explore a diverse range of roles. One intriguing facet of this evolution is the emergence of charming yet malign female characters who defy the conventional victimhood associated with women in traditional fairytales. These characters, often complex and multidimensional, embody the essence of self-realization and liberation from societal expectations. No longer confined to the narrow confines of victimhood, they wield their charm and cunning to navigate a world that once sought to subjugate them. This departure from the passive and submissive roles traditionally ascribed to female characters serves as a potent expression of post-feminist ideals. The allure of these malign female characters lies not only in their defiance of stereotypes but also in their ability to subvert expectations and challenge the status quo. Their charm becomes a tool for self-empowerment, enabling them to dismantle the limitations imposed by societal norms. These characters embody a newfound agency, embracing their darker sides as they navigate a world that often underestimated their capabilities. In this post-feminist landscape, the narrative focus shifts from the victimization of women to the exploration of their autonomy and complexity. Malign female characters become conduits for the examination of power dynamics, agency, and the multifaceted nature of femininity. They challenge audiences to question preconceived notions and embrace a more nuanced understanding of women's roles in storytelling. The self-realization of the female figure is no longer tethered to a predetermined script but instead becomes a journey of empowerment, challenging and reshaping societal norms to forge a new narrative that celebrates the strength, complexity, and autonomy of women in the modern world.
