Mira Confundo is a typeface inspired by one of the most extraordinary artifacts of Renaissance calligraphy: the Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta, a 16 century calligraphic model book created by Georg Bocksay, secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I. While the manuscript is now known equally for the lavish illuminations added decades later by Joris Hoefnagel, its original purpose was entirely calligraphic, a tour de force of penmanship designed to demonstrate the breadth of Bocskay's virtuosity and stylistic range.

Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini was inspired by the design of the letters appearing in folio 96, whose vertical strokes are fractured by a subtle diagonal cut, producing a saw-tooth rhythm that breaks the traditional Gothic flow and replaces it with a visual pulse: a zig-zag heartbeat that animates the text. This vibrant internal tension was captured into a typeface: Mira Confundo.

Inheriting Bocksay's eclectic influences, Mira Confundo fuses three typographic logics into a cohesive digital system. The uppercase letters follow Roman capital proportions, yet incorporate diagonal incisions, fractures, or gestural terminals that echo calligraphic dynamics while the lowercase combine textura-based modularity with chancery fluency. Though at first glance the letterforms may appear obscure or even cryptic, Mira Confundo is not designed for ease, but to invite the reader not to linger in its inner rhythms and hidden geometries. 

Mira Confundo is suited for display contexts where typographic expressivity is key: editorial headlines, book covers, visual poetry, historical reinterpretation, or typographic experiments that require a voice that is simultaneously ancient and unfamiliar. The name Confundo evokes not confusion, but mixture, complexity, interweaving. Like Bocskay himself, Mira Confundo does not choose one tradition over another: it inhabits the tension between classical and calligraphic, Roman and Gothic, printed and written.

Codec Pro ME is an extended version of the Codec Pro typeface, offering full support for Arabic and Hebrew scripts. Based on the original 2017 design, it retains the wide weight range and rich OpenType features of the original. The Middle Eastern extension was developed with Oded Ezer (Hebrew) and Omaima Dajani (Arabic), aiming to bridge cultures through a unified, inclusive typographic design.
