Argentinian outfit originally headed by Claudio Pousada and Mauro Oliver [who has since left]. Fonts include Pollochorizo (Paola Ciotti), Los fierros (Quique Ollervides Uribe), Luchita Payol (Quique Ollervides Uribe), América (El Sebra), Sapucai Picada (Paco Aguayo), Zamora Exquisita (Oscar Reyes), Rogamos (Ramiro Ozer Ami), HebraCaps (El Sebra), Mofles (Paco Aguayo), Tequila Heights (Oscar Borrego). English version. Dafont link. SantoTipo's experiment is open to anyone and runs in two phases: the first one requires a surveyor/photographer who discovers a design; the second involves the creation of a typeface or typographic object from the discovery. If you want ideas for fonts, just look at these pictures! CV at Sudtipos, where he is one of about five designers. His first creations there include Titanes (comic book face) and the Icons-of-Icons dingbat series (SL Cortazar, SL Borges, SL Evita, SL Fangio, SL Gardel), which were done at SinergiaLab, which Claudio founded earlier (note that the artists seem to be different though, and he merely assumed, I think, the artistic direction). He has worked mainly in design for television, and was Director de Arte at "Multimedios América" in Buenos Aires for about ten years.
