About the book
Deliziosa
A visually rich, career-spanning monograph written by Louise Fili, showcasing her iconic typography, branding, and Italian-inspired design. With a foreword by Steven Heller.
Step into the distinctive world of Louise Fili, one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary graphic design. Deliziosa showcases, in a sweeping chronological survey, decades of her work, from her early career designing book covers at Pantheon (numbering nearly 2,000) to her influential studio practice shaping some of today’s most recognizable brands, including Tate's, Sarabeth's, Good Housekeeping, and Late July.
Known for her elegant typography and deep love of Italian visual culture, Fili brings a signature style that blends nostalgia, craftsmanship, and modern sophistication. This volume offers a comprehensive look at her creative evolution—from crafting a restaurant logo in cooked pasta and translating it into unforgettable brand identity to publishing the charming children’s book A Typographer’s Mother Goose.
Inside you’ll find:
- Decade-by-decade work spanning the late 1970s to today
- Iconic branding for restaurants and lifestyle companies
- Explorations of typography, signage, and packaging
- Process images and insights into Fili’s design approach
Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book is both an inspiring visual archive and a must-have resource for design lovers.
