• Maipo Sans (2018) 40 styles, 826 glyphs per font: Maipo Sans is a modern typeface inspired by the mountain landscape of Cajon del Maipo, Chile.

This typeface is specially designed for projects using extensive text blocks and striking ads..

• Mena Grotesk (2019). An extensive neo-grotesk made the Chilean way, named after the village of Bajos de Mena in Chile.
• LC Criolla (2020), about which Alexis writes: This typeface is inspired in the influence of the Bauhaus in Chile, particularly in Chillan; a city where a catastrophic earthquake took place in 1939. There was the need of rebuilding Chillan and it was fulfilled in a very good way. One of the responsible architects of what today we know as Chillan is the Hungarian Tibor Weiner---a Bauhaus man. He arrived to Chile as a refugee, the same year of the earthquake.LC Trinidad (2020). An 18-style geometric sans influenced by Renner's Futura and Koch's Kabel. Republished in 2021 at Sudaca Type Design Studio as Trinidad Neue.
