ABOUT

Guisela Mendoza Puentes

Chilean type designer, aka Coto Mendoza, located in Concepcion, Chile. She created the cooking dingbat typeface Dans Le Cuisine (2011, Latinotype). She also made Printa (2011, inspired by Mandala symbols). Dans Le Cuisine won an award at Tipos Latinos 2012.

Abel (2012, Latinotype) is a dingbat typeface that reinterprets the artistic expression of the Mapuche people in Chile, rescuing the handmade stroke they embodied to textiles and pottery, this time in a fresh way to use contemporary patterns. It has contemporary "mapuche" patterns.

Ride My Bike (2012, Latinotype) is a hand-printed headline typeface family that comes with a fun Dingbat style. The font was designed by her in bed while she was recovering from a bicycle accident.

The hand-printed Bon Appetit family (2012, +Dingbats) would be perfect to illustrate a breakfast with Agatha Christie in a remote British village.

Other typefaces from 2012 include the dingbat fonts Dans Le Jardin and Dans Le Noël.

Typefaces from 2013: In a Jar (hand-lettering, Latinotype), Four Seasons (handwritten, with Luciano Vergara), Dans Le Toilette (sic), Love Story (with Luciano Vergara, Latinotype: a hairline upright Valentine's Day script), Love Story Dingbats.

Typefaces from 2014: Macarons, DIY Time (hand-printed, with Luciano Vergara at Latinotype), Ride My Bike Serif.

In 2015, she made the 26-font typeface family Boho (Latinotype; in Script, Sans, Serif and Dingbats styles) and Go Gipsy (Latinotype: a wild calligraphic script).

Typefaces from 2016: Touch Me (by Coto Mendoza and Luciano Vergara: in Script and Sans versions; the script is based on Coto's unique experimental calligraphy; she calls this one "tribal chic"), Bikini Season (Script and Sans, by Coto Mendoza and Luciano Vergara), Indigena (Latinotype: indigenous Chilean "mapuche" style dingbats).

In 2017, Latinotype published her swashy Namaste Script and accompanying all caps typeface Namaste Sans. Its motivation: Namaste is the perfect choice for wellness, healing and therapy oriented products. Its smooth shape and soft curves allow the user to create beautiful designs for essential oils, bath salts, quartz crystals, mindfoodness, candles, incense and aromatherapy products packaging.

Typefaces from 2018: Coiffeur (a fashion script by Guisela Mendoza and Luciano Vergara at Los Andes).
