Tipotype is a foundry, est. 2009 in Montevideo, Uruguay, by Fernando Díaz, b. Montevideo, 1988. Since 2007, he teaches typography at ORT University. He is a founding member of Sociedad Tipografica de Montevideo (Montevideo's Typographic Society). TipoType is an international project, collective and autonomous for distribution of typefaces by typographers.

Fonts include Quiroga Serif (2009, Fernando Díaz), Muzarela (2011, a 50-style squarish family), Chau Philomène (2010), Chau Trouville (2010), Chau Marbella (2010) and Chau La Madeleine (2010) [all Chau fonts were done by Vicente Lamónaca] and Economica (2007, Vicente Lamónaca).

Fernando Díaz created Quadratta Serif (2007, a slab serif done at Intellecta Design). See also here. This face won in the best text category at Tipos Latinos 2008. Note that Quiroga Serif began in 2007 with the name Quadratta Serif.

Sedan (2012, Sebastian salazar, TipoType) is a delicate early baroque typeface family with tall ascenders, and the elegance of a garalde.

Other faces by Díaz include Logomotion (2012), Fénix (2009-2010, a free soft wedge-serifed face not to be confused with Fenix by Frantisek Storm; free at Google Web Fonts), Helena (2011) and Libertad (2008-2010, sans).
