Tribasei, a digital version of Fregio Mecano. This set of 20 geometric shapes for building letters and images was made in Italy probably sometime in the mid-1930s and appears in a Nebiolo specimen from c. 1954. The designer is unknown, but the author of Giulio da Milano who designed Fregio Razionale, another modular typeface system, and Neon, a conventional typeface with similar letterfroms as Fregio Mecano (both Nebiolo, 1935).

In 2015, Section Bold Condensed (Compugraphic, c. 1980s) is a digital interpretation with ready-made glyphs, Luciano Perondi's Tribasei (2006) is a truly modular digital version. It is available from Mrs Eaves XL Serif, the 2009 addition with larger x-height, but the originalMrs Eaves, with capitals replaced by small caps.
