Gente Tipografia Wounaan
Web site of project Gente by the "Gente team", which consists of type designers David Espinosa (Colombia), Sergio Aristizabal (Colombia), Sandra Garcia (Colombia), Manuel Lopez Rocha (Mexico) and Oscar Guerrero Canizares (Colombia). There is also a graphic design team (Ana Varela and Bladimir Blacho Moya, from Colombia; Ramses Lopez in Panama; Cecilia Vilca Ocharan in Peru; Victoria Clemente in Spain; Fellype Silva do Nascimento in Brazil). Gente Tipografia is dedicated to typography and type for the Wounaan people in Colombia who face extinction. One of 65 endangered local tribes in Colombia, the 9500 Wounaan live principally near Chico. In 2016, the web site opened its doors and showed these Latin / Wounaan (basically, Latin, with a few extra symbols such as barred u's) typefaces for free download: Wouniek-Agpierra, Wouniek-Dasii (by Sandra Garcia and Manuel Lopez Rocha), Wouniek-Nempom (by Sandra Garcia and Manuel Lopez Rocha), Wouniek-TheerbaAgpierra, Wouniek-TheerbaDasii, Wouniek-TheerbaNempom, Wouniek-Chaanden (a cursive school script by Sergio Aristizabal, Sandra Garcia, Manuel Lopez Rocha and Oscar Guerrero Canizares).
