ABOUT

Gustavo Ferreira

Brazilian designer (b. 1977, Rio de Janeiro) who worked in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and is based in Cunha, Brazil. In 2009, he founded Hipertipo, a small design studio in Amsterdam. Gustavo Ferreira has a Bachelors degree in Graphic and Product Design from ESDI, in Brazil (2003), and a Masters degree in type design from KABK Den Haag. His typefaces:

• The grunge handwriting font Gentileza (2002), taken straight from Rio's streets.
• The sans-serif typeface Eva (2002).
• In 2004, he joined Ultra Pixel Fonts, where he made the pixel typefaces Elementar 09b, Elementar Basica 13.11, 13.21 and 13.31, which are all part of the pixel and dot matrix "system" Elementar [see also the Typotheque page]. He explains: Elementar is a parametric font system designed to bring more typographic flexibility to digital screens. Elementar embraces and explores the unique properties of digital media: the pixel, the coarse resolution grid, and the dimension of time. At ATypI 2005 in Helsinki, he spoke on Elementar.
• At FontStruct, he made these typefaces in 2009-2010: Untitled Modern, ImperialSans, ImperialSerif, Untitled Roman, Modular Serif (Micro, Text, Large), Untitled Italic, Gothica (a geometric blackletter).
• In 2008, Universidade de Brasilia asked Gustavo Ferreira to design a Helvetica-style free font family, UnB (in versions UnB Pro and UnB Office). Free download. Fontsquirrel link.
