Alphabets by Chileans (or: ABC)

Foundry, est. 2015 by Miguel Hernandez and Tania Chacana. Their typefaces include

  • ABC Normal (2016, by Miguel Hernandez and Tania Chacana). They motivate the font in this way: Normal is a working horse for the Modern Grotesk Canon, result of study of the models from Theinhardt, Renner, Novarese & Gerstner; avoiding to reveal a personal style. It is timeless but has a large x-height (which makes it not so timeless).
  • Uomo (2014 at Latinotype; 2021 at Alphabets by Chileans). Created by Miguel Hernandez, Tania Chacana and Miguel Hernandez Montoya, this 27-style all caps typeface features Italian art deco elements.

    Mauricio Amster

    Polish-Spanish designer, 1907-1980, who fled Spain in 1939 to Chile on board of the Winnipeg, and who revolutionized editorial design in Chile. He worked on the mag Zig-Zag. Examples of his sublime lettering: calligraphy, Cancellaresca, Gotica Bastarda, Romana Antigua, Romantica Humanistica, Rotunda.

    Photo. Joaquin Contreras wrote a thesis at the Faculty of Architecture of the University in Chile in 2007 entitled Diseño de fuentes tipográficas, basadas en los libros integramente caligrafiados por Mauricio Amster en Chile. I quote from a talk given by Contreras in 2021: Mauricio Amster Cats is a leading Polish editorial designer who worked for 40 years in Chile as a publisher, potter, lettering artist and teacher. He published two books on graphic standards to support his classes at the school of journalism and design hundreds of books. Son of Jewish parents persecuted by the Nazi regime, as a young man he studied graphic arts in Germany. Together with his friend Mariano Rawicz he travelled to Spain to take part in the civil war. In Madrid he designed newspapers, pamphlets, posters and books, the best known being the Cartilla Escolar Antifascista, a study book for militiamen. As a refugee he travelled to Chile on the Winnipeg, a ship prepared by Pablo Neruda (Chilean poet, diplomat, winner of the Nobel Prize) where he arrived with his wife Adina, a Spanish bookbinder with whom he shared his life. In Chile he started out as an anarchist, but as time went by he became part of Chilean culture until he became probably the most important designer of the last century. [Google] [More]  ⦿

    • Farola (2008, a curly Victorian face; +Farola Simple, without curls).
    • PAI Fashion Font (2011).
    • Legan (2008, a mini-serifed Trajan face).

    • Claramaria Mega Black, Claramaria Extra Light (hairline version).
    • Fonton (a fat elliptical face; images i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x). I can't understand why Fonton has not won any major awards. Even in this popular genre, it stands on a pedestal all by itself.
    • Cuadrada (2010, angular).
    • Lighton Extra Light (2011). An elliptical hairline sans.
    • Trianglery (2010, calligraphic).
    • Politic (+ExtraLight, +ExtraBlack: a slabbed family).

    • Globa (2016). Globa is a low contrast round sans typeface family.
    • Niva (2016). A 60-style display sans typeface family advertized for use in scientific documents.
    • Primaria (2018). A great school script and print typeface family.
    • The commissioned decorative typeface family Roijer (2016), and Roijer Ornaments, Roijer Dingbats, and Roijer II (2017). This absolutely stunning display typeface family evolved from a branding exercise in which each letter was developed as typographic jewelry, a bond between classical and creative freedom concepts with Lombardic and art nouveau touches, Röijer puts a dual capital model in your hands---a classic Roman and a contemporary alternative.
    • LeBrush (2016). A contemporary humanist serif Roman typeface based on real brush lettering, in ten styles ranging from Thin to Extra Dark, inspired by the classical Roman proportions of the Capitalis Monumentalis of the Trajan Column. It comes with several dingbat fonts and a set of ornaments. The family could be appropriate for movie titling.

    • In 2018, Pedro Gonzalez and Marcela Aguilera co-designed Orqquidea and Orqquidea Garden (dingbats).
    • Rationell (2020). Classifying it as neo-grotesk, Pedro writes: Rationell is a functional multipurpose corporate typeface, based on classic 1950's Swiss rationalism, subtly tuned on a XIX century didonesque modernist structure, a contemporary interpretation with the eyes of the Latin idiosyncrasy. Rationell's great weight range stretches from hairline to extra black, with rounding in the heavier weights.
    • Geometrica (2019). A low contrast geometric sans family.
    • PGF Now (2020). A 22-style Latin American humanist sans family.
    • PGF Strange (2021). A thorny layerable display serif family in eight styles.
    • PGF Caprina Pro (2021). An audacious geometric sans in 20 styles with some of Renner's early ideas of surprising squarish glyphs.
    • PGF Americas (2021). A 15-style family inspired by Rudolf Koch's carved lettering; this family includes ornaments, dingbats, boxed initials, inline styles, and an array of sans display typefaces.

    Calligraphic works include L'Ecole d'Fine Arts (2009), Latinisiert Fraktur Neue (2014), Paradise Duck, Eclesiastes (based on "La Rueda" of Sheila Waters, 1981).

There was the need of rebuilding Chillan and it was fulfilled in a very good way. One of the responsible architects of what today we know as Chillan is the Hungarian Tibor Weiner---a Bauhaus man. He arrived to Chile as a refugee, the same year of the earthquake.LC Trinidad (2020). An 18-style geometric sans influenced by Renner's Futura and Koch's Kabel.
