ABOUT

Marina Martins Chaccur

Marina is a Brazilian graphic designer and teacher, who graduated from Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado FAAP. She has an MA from the London College of Communication. In 2011, she obtained a Masters in the type and media program at KABK, Den Haag. She was a designer and college tutor in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but now lives in Den Haag, The Netherlands.

She spoke at ATypI in Lisbon on vernacular Brazilian type and the current state of Brazilian type design. On her site we can find some sketchbooks, and a proposal for a blackletter face, among many other type-related goodies.

At KABK, she designed the type system Chic (2011). This family includes fashion mag styles from a roman sans to curly caps and a "chic" didone.

In 2013, she created the beveled caps typeface O Melhor de Sao Paulo, which is based in part on Jackson Cavanaugh's Alright Sans Ultra.

In 2014, Crystian Cruz and Marina Chaccur co-designed the sans custom typeface UOL for the Brazilian internet provider.
