Aldo Novarese was born in 1920 in Pontestura, a small town of the Monferrato region, Italy. The family later relocated to Turin, where Novarese's father worked as a customs agent, and it was in there that in 1930 Novarese began his studies at the Sculoa Artieri Stampatori (School of printing crafts). Under Francesco Menyey, Novarese studied woodcut, copper engraving, and lithography. Following this he spent three years at a specialist typography school, The Scuola di Tipographica Paravia. At sixteen he joined the Nebilolo foundry in Turin as a draftsman. The Turinese Nebiolo had been the main Italian font foundry and printing machine factory since the fourteenth century.
MA: Today an enormous number of fonts are available for free and this can be helpful and confusing at the same time. We tend to think that graphical composition has no rules, apart from aesthetic fulfillment, but that is misleading and deeply untrue to me. There are plenty of optical fundamentals behind the best fruition of an aesthetic product that whoever works with graphics and design should be aware of. Experimentation and innovation can only come from knowing the theory and consciously stretching its boundaries.
I'm a fan of Impallari Type's Quattrocentro. It has a certain classic elegance that I like, and it is very readable on screens. Unfortunately it lacks italic variants, making it difficult to use in many places. What free fonts might capture what I like about Quattrocento, but offer me proper italics in addition to a bold?
I believe I came across Quattrocento while looking for the font used in mid-to-late-1980:s "Byte" magazine. I later learned (via fontsinuse.com) that the actual font used was ITC Novarese, which has the interesting property of the italics that Janus Bahs Jacquet mentions in a comment, and seems to fulfill all of your criteria. Not free, though.

Stadio Now is a typeface published by the lovely Italian foundry Zeta Fonts. It is a revival of Stadio from 1974 by the highly important type designer Aldo Novarese (which you know from Eurostile). The original design, that only consisted of one style, was digitalized, extended, complemented, and is now available as a variable font. There as so many things I love about Stadio Now. First, it looks very striking, and unusual, casual, or even goofy due to the reverse contrast (more about that concept in my Antipol review). But the mood strongly depends on the specific weight and style you choose.
Choosing the right font for your website can be a challenging task, especially when there are so many options available. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using the Eurostile font and why it is a great choice for your website design. We will also discuss how to implement this font on your website and what to consider when choosing a font for your online presence.
The Eurostile font is a modern and stylish font that has been widely used in graphic design, advertising, and branding for decades. This font is characterized by its clean lines, geometric shapes, and bold style, which make it a popular choice for web design. Here are some benefits of using the Eurostile font on your website:
One license allows a maximum of 5 people to install and use the font(s) for commercial purposes. All users must belong to the same company or household purchasing the font. You can buy multiple licenses for more than 5 users.
This licence is reserved to software house, web agencies, companies and individuals that want to include our fonts in computer softwares, web/mobile applications and games, eBooks for dynamic display of texts and terminal servers.
It allows a maximum of ten people to install and use the fonts on temporary developement cpus, as well as the copy of the font files on the production web servers or the inclusion of said files in the software.
This license is reserved to business entities and individuals that want to include the font(s) as part of dynamic or static typesetting for broadcast/tv/cinema titling.
This licence is reserved to corporate entities that are buying usage of the fonts for an unlimited number of employees and allowing re-distribution to affiliates and related businesses (marketing and advertising agencies, other service providers, etc).
The corporate entity that buys a worldwide license is allowed to modify, adapt and use the font at will for its commercial and not commercial purposes, but it's still not allowed to resell the font as a font file or make applications that include the fontfile(s) as a file/files.
But the craziest homage to Novarese was the football poster design tournament Coppa Stadio, organized by Zetafonts Foundry for a revival of the typeface Stadio, a long-lost classic designed by Novarese in 1974 and published only as dry transfer lettering.

Issued in metal over a decade after Helvetica and Univers, Forma was relatively late to the neutral sans serif game. It never made the jump to phototypesetting and virtually disappeared after Nebiolo closed its doors in 1978.
The font was born at the culmination of an entire era of typography: an era when formal purity was the ultimate design achievement, when the spacing of headlines was outrageously tight, and when neutral neo-grotesque sans serifs were actually something fresh and exciting to read.
Type 1 fonts are a specialized form of PostScript program and are the original file format used for type display on all PostScript printers. The PostScript language was later extended to support the later TrueType and OpenType font standards. Any new Adobe PostScript language device made today supports all three font standards.
Adobe PostScript Type 1 is a worldwide standard for digital type fonts (International Standards Organization outline font standard, ISO 9541). Adobe Systems was a pioneer for Type 1 for use in PostScript printers. Adobe has set the standards for the design and manufacturing of the Type 1 software. Hundreds of companies around the world followed suit, designing and releasing more than 30,000 fonts in the Type 1 format.
The Type 1 font format is recognized on every computer platform, from microcomputers to mainframes. It prints on every printer, either directly through built-in PostScript language interpreting, or through add-on utilities, such as Adobe Type Manager (ATM). ATM technology is integrated into Microsoft Windows 2000 and Mac OS X operating system. For more than a decade, Type 1 has been the preferred format for the graphic arts and publishing industries.
TrueType is a standard for digital type fonts that was developed by Apple Computer, and later licensed to Microsoft Corporation. Each company has made independent extensions to TrueType, which is used in both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Like Type 1, the TrueType format is available for development of new fonts.
OpenType is a new standard for digital type fonts, developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft. OpenType supersedes Microsoft's TrueType Open extensions to the TrueType format. OpenType fonts can contain either PostScript or TrueType outlines in a common wrapper. An OpenType font is a single file, which can be used on Macintosh and Windows platforms without conversion. OpenType fonts have many advantages over previous font formats because they contain more glyphs, support more languages (OpenType uses the Unicode standard for character encoding). OpenType fonts also support rich typographic features such as small caps, old style figures, and ligatures, all in a single font.
Beginning with Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop 6.0, applications have begun to support OpenType layout features. OpenType layout allows you to access features such as old style figures or true small caps by simply applying formatting to text. In most applications that do not support such features, OpenType fonts work just like other fonts. Although, the OpenType layout features are not accessible.
OpenType with PostScript outlines is supported by the latest versions of Adobe Type Manager, and is natively supported in Windows 2000. Apple has also announced its intent to support OpenType, and supplies Japanese system fonts for Mac OS X in OpenType form with PostScript outlines.
Adobe western and Japanese fonts contain various character sets that support different languages around the world. Below are the most common character sets found in Adobe Fonts. If more than one-character set is listed, the font supports all possible languages covered by each character set.
Character encoding is a table in a font or a computer operating system that maps character codes to glyphs in a font. Most operating systems today represent character codes with an 8-bit unit of data known as a byte. Thus, character encoding tables today are restricted to at most 256 character codes. Not all operating system manufacturers use the same character encoding. For example, the Macintosh platform uses the standard Macintosh character set as defined by Apple Computer, Inc., while the Windows operating system uses another encoding entirely, as defined by Microsoft. Fortunately, OpenType fonts (and standard Type 1 fonts) contain all the glyphs needed for both these encodings, so they work correctly not only with these two systems, but others as well.
