ABOUT

Rodrigo López Fuentes

Chilean type designer who studied at Universidad de Chile and teaches at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. Santiago, Chile-based co-founder, with Sergio Leiva Whittle, of Untype in 2017.

He won an award in the display type category at Tipos Latinos 2012 for Needham Black, and at Tipos Latinos 2010 for his text typeface Amaranta.

In 2016, he published the humanist sans typeface family Aromo at Underground and the likable slab serif Rogliano at TipoType. Rogliano Pro followed in 2019 at Untype: Rogliano Pro is a 70-font humanist slab serif super family (7 weights on 5 styles each plus matching italics) that while maintaining a strong and direct backbone, sustains a warm undertone that nods to the lettering and lithographic posters of the Victorian era. It contains William Morris-influenced borders.

Co-designer, with Sergio Leiva Whittle, of the 18-style wedge serif typeface family Nikola (2017), which won an award at Tipos Latinos 2018. In 2018, they published the humanist sans typeface family Axios.

In 2018, Lopez Fuentes published the major workhorse sans typeface Wozniak, which is named after Steve Wozniak as a tribute to the pioneers of the digital revolution, and has all the bells and whistles of a modern typeface.

Typefaces from 2020: Madero Slab (monolinear, in 42 styles; with Sergio Leiva Whittle), Mondo (a great display typeface characterized by incised terminals and a humanist ductus), Mondo News (20 styles), Tectonica (a decorative didone by Rodrigo López Fuentes, in Poster, Engraved and Swash styles: it appears to be almost identical to his 2019 font family Tectonic).

Typefaces from 2021: Suave Pro (an 18-style humanist sans with rounded terminals).
