ABOUT

Ultra Types [Joan Ramon Pastor Rovira]

Wete, or Wete Cacahuete, or Joan Ramon Pastor Rovira, or Juanra Pastor, or Juanra Wete Pastor, is a Barcelona-based graphic and type designer, b. 1984. He set up Ultra Types in 2012.

Typefaces created by him include the useless monstrosity called Combo (2009), the hand-printed Deibi (2009, free), the text typeface Alba Serif (2010), and the fantastic geometric/mathematical caps face Roke 1984 (2010).

TP Duro (2011) is a blackletter typeface inspired by an Albrecht Dürer design from 1525. It was published in 2019 at Vette Letters in cooperation with Martin Lorenz: VLNL TpDuro. Favela (2011) is a free tattoo face.

In 2012, he designed an experimental / futuristic set of numbers for a Yorokobu magazine section called Numerografia. Still in 2012, he created the Alexander Grotesk typeface family (which can be bought at Ten Dollar Fonts), and Ut One (modular, arc-based).

In 2013, he designed the sans typeface Reefont Condensed on commission for Reebok [under the creative direction of Manuel Lemus]. 4YFN (4 Years Fro Now, 2013) is a minimilaist custom typeface created for an event organized by Mobile World Congress. He also designed Stela UT (a layered stencil font) in 2013. Cairo Slab UT (2013) is based on an alphabet found in 100 alphabets publicitaires (1946).

In 2014, he made an experimental connect-the-dots typeface with Drawbot. Intangibles is a custom-designed didone titling face. UT Rounded is free.

In 2015, Wete made the angular brutalist display typeface UT Nickel.

In 2018, Oscar Cobo and Wete co-designed the piano key variable font UT Morph, which was inspired by Wim Crouwel's Nagasaki poster.

In 2019, Wete designed the logotype for TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and the identity and wayfinding symbols for Hotel El Call.

Typefaces from 2021: UT Barrel (a fat face with serious ink traps).
