Cocijotype beta

¶ This is the lettering I did yesterday for the foundry, the idea had been around me for weeks or months, so, it was easy to draw the letters following my rough sketches. I also would like to tell you that the beta version of the website is running since yesterday, there is still a lot of work to do. As you can see, the word beta is set in the same typeface that the lettering in the previous post.

¶ Esta es la rotulación (lettering o como gusten llamarle) de la fundidora tipográfica, la idea me había estado rondando por semanas o meses, así que fue facil dibujar las letras basándome en mis bocetos burdos. La versión beta de Cocijotype ya está funcionando desde ayer, hay mucha chamba por hacer pero por algo se empieza. La palabra beta es parte de una tipografía que estoy desarrollando, utilizada en la entrada anterior.

Type for you

Sexytype

We are back again, I'm fed up of wordpress, I just don't like it and decided to keep this blog. This is or will be the header of Sexytype, as you can see it has a latin spirit, soft but strong.

Barrilito

Cocijotype is proud to introduce Barrilito, a titling typeface based in linoleum & wood engraving with a lot of ligatures and contextual alternates, ideal for impressive titles, or even textures where the the form is more important than readability, something that Gerard Blanchard calls typovision, you can purchase it at MyFonts.
