ABOUT

Jorge Cisterna Avendaño

Chilean type designer in Santiago who created the heavy slab serif / signage typeface Bock (2008; images: i, ii, iii), the fat Muralista (2008, Latinotype), the signage font Quinchao Script (2008), and the fat slab serif typeface Bock (2011). Behance link.

In 2011, he cofounded Los Andes Type, and published the mural and/or poster font Muralista there.

In 2012, he published the beautiful bold round typeface Altiplanica.

In 2015, Jorge Cisterna published the humanist sans typeface Brocha (32 styles, Latinotype), the low contrast slab serif typeface Decour, Decour Soft, and the humanist sans typeface Blanc at Latinotype.

Typefaces from 2016: Taberna (a vintage copperplate style family based on design trends in bar signage, liquor packaging and street wear; with Rodrigo Fuenzalida), Queulat (Latinotype: a slab serif), Queulat Condensed, Cover Sans (Latinotype), Queulat Soft. A humanist geometric typeface family in which every stroke ending is horizontal or vertical.

Typefaces from 2017: Fibra (Los Andes: a beautiful geometric sans designed for display; advertized as avant-garde, although in my view there are slightly too many curves for that label to apply), Weekly (a semi slab serif), Atlan (at Latinotype; with Daniel Hernandez). A geometric sans typeface family.

In 2018, inspired by Herb Lubalin's serif Gothic, Jorge Cisterna and Bruno Jara co-designed the layerable font family Lumiere at Latinotype.

Other typefaces from 2018: Cagliari (Latinotype; a display didone with high contrast, based on his earlier typeface Queulat), Recoleta (Latinotype), Fibra One (Los Andes: a display sans).

In 2019, Jorge Cisterna and Bruno Jara developed the vintage layerable typeface Blackberry (Los Andes). Blackberry is inspired by vintage packaging and old fashion ads. It has woodtype characteristics such as angular serifs, and light and diagonal curves.

Typefaces from 2020: Kenac (a serifed text typeface with a negative optical axis).

Typefaces from 2021: Brutalista (a 14-style sans inspired by the architectural brutalist style).
