Castro obtained a Master's degree in Communication Design and Multimedia at the Escola Superior de Artes e Design (ESAD) in 2011. He lives in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. Under the guidance of Dino dos Santos, his study project was entitled The typographic process in Pedro Diaz Morante. Related to that project, he created a sweet, delicate and absolutely stunning penmanship typeface called Morante (2011), named after Spanish penman Pedro Diaz Morante, whose calligraphy inspired the typeface. His illustrations and graphic design work are equally impressive and perfect.
