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.

A brand For Urban & Architectonic Design

Some days ago I decided to design a brand for my workgroup, they are mostly interested in architecture and enginering (I am the exception because I'm a graphic designer), the group's name is Diseño Urbano & Arquitectónico, I had been thinking about this brand for two months, so when I started to sketch the letters it was quite natural to approach to the result.

I tried to make reference to buildings and accurate traces and I drew the letters inside a square net, the letters were supposed to be monolinear, but when I saw the result, some parts looked thiner than others, then I remembered something a teacher said to me:

If you want it monolinear, you have to do it non monolinear.

I adjusted the thickness and after that I selected Bell Gothic Std for the text below, but I had to make some changes in the I, the Q and the Ñ. This is the result.
