ABOUT

Pablo Cosgaya

Professor of Typography at FADU, the University of Buenos Aires, from 1994 onwards. Founder of Cosgaya Diseño (Rosario, 1991), which he runs with Marcela Romero. He is designer of Proceso Sans (1996, published by García Fonts), Patagonia (1994, a sans typeface done with Héctor Gatti), CDIcons (2003, with Marcela Romero, published by Pixiefonts) and Loreto (2004, with Eduardo Rodriguez Tunni), an award-winning typeface published by Tipo. Loreto got its inspiration from the typography of the Manuale ad Usum (1721), printed by Jesuit missionaries who worked at the beginning of the XVIII century with communities of "Guaraná" natives from the Northeast region of Argentina. He created the signage and slogan typeface Sansita (2011, Google Font Directory and Omnibus Type: sansita won an award at Tipos Latinos 2014).

In 2013, Pablo Cosgaya and Dani Raskovsky codesigned a wood carving typeface called Bahiana---perfect for lettering on a Caribbean rum shack. Bahiana was published by Omnibus Type. Download from Open Font Library. Bahiana won an award at Tipos Latinos 2014. Together with Sergio Jimenez in 2013, Pablo designed the vernacular poster typeface Barrio (see also Open Font Library).

Pragati Narrow (2015, Omnibus Type and Open Font Library), derived from Chivo, is a free Google web font family that covers both Latin (in the 19th century American grotesque style with vertically or horizontally cut terminals) and Devanagari. the Devanagari was developed by Marcela Romero, Pablo Cosgaya and Nicolás Silva. In 2015, Pablo Cosgaya and Nicolás Silva codesigned the rounded sans Latin / Devanagari typeface Jaldi (free at Google Web Fonts and Open Font Library) which is based on Asap and Ancha developed earlier by Pablo Cosgaya and Hector Gatti in collaboration with Andres Torresi. Cosgaya and the Omnibus Type team codesigned the free rounded sans family Asap from 2011-2015. The main feature of Asap is that across different styles, characters maintain their widths. Asap (2012, Google Web Fonts) is based on Ancha (designed by Pablo Cosgaya and Hector Gatti), and has been developed with the collaboration of Andrés Torresi: it is a contemporary sans with rounded corners. Asap is accompanied by the free Asap Symbol font (2015), designed by Tania Quindos, Marcela Romero, Elena Gonzalez Miranda and Pablo Cosgaya.

In 2015, Pablo Cosgaya, Eduardo Tunni and the crew of Omnibus Type published the text typeface Manuale.
