Branding with Type [Alberto Romanos]

Alberto Romanos is a Zaragoza, Spain-based type designer who is co-located in London. First he founded the type foundry Alberto Romanos. In 2015, that morphed into Branding with Type.

Alberto designed a font for an imaginary language. For his MA degree, he worked on variations of Frutiger (2009). His first commercial typeface is Bw Quinta Pro (2015, a sans family).

In 2015, he created the variable width condensed grotesque and poster typeface Bw Stretch, and the bespoke retro-futuristic elliptical sans typeface Flat Sans for the Spanish digital agency Flat101. During Typeclinic 11th International Type Design Workshop, he created the typeface Stretch Caps (2015).

In 2016, he designed Bw Darius (a sharp-edged high-contrast 4-style typeface family), Bw Surco (humanist sans for Latin and Cyrillic), Bw Modelica (a minimal, robust, reliable and pragmatic geometric sans in 64 styles), Bw Modelica Ultra Condensed, Bw Modelica Condensed, Bw Modelica Expanded, and Bw Mitga (a sans with strong personality and a 16 degree angle that dominates the design).

Typefaces from 2017: Bw Nista (Grotesk, International and Geometric), the Cyrillic / Greek expansion of Modelica, called Modelica LGC, Bw Helder (an 18-style sans typeface developed with Thom Niessink), Bw Gradual (an eccentric ink-trapped hipster sans), Bw Glenn Sans and its Egyptian companion, Bw Glenn Slab.

Typefaces from 2018: Bw Seido Round (a rounded almost-but-not-quite monoline sans in 12 styles that takes elements from DIN 1451; fiollowed in 2019 by Bw Seido Raw), Bw Vivant (a Peignotian typeface co-designed wih Moritz Kleinsorge).

Typefaces from 2019: Bw Beto (a text family in two optical sizes, the larger one being called Bw Beto Grande), Bw Aleta (geometric sans).

Typefaces from 2021: Bw Pose (Bw Pose No 3 and Bw Pose No 5, two times twelve fonts: didone typefaces with additional features such as uninterrupted slabs in the No3 family, and occasional wedges in the uppercase).
