Santiago, Chili-based designer (b. Santiago, 1977) of the display faces Tosca (2005, Egyptian), RotulaCG and of Paquidermo (2003). He created Origen (2002-2003), about which he writes: "Origen is a sexy soft typeface that not only cares about legibility in small sizes but also the particularity each character has at 24pts. or more. It was created from a logo designed for a potter whose work is based on simple and friendly forms developed from the origin." Origen can be bought at Union Fonts. He has been working on El Chino (2004, a stencil type). He studied Graphic Design at the Finis Terrae University, graduating in 2001. In 2002 he continued his studies at the Typography Diploma in Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, where he started Origen. He now works as an art director in Ce Diseña, one of the most important firms of global branding in Chile, and as an independent designer for several artistic projects.
