Tania Raposo
Graphic designer from Portugal who obtained a Bachelors in Graphic Design from ESAD.CR in Caldas da Rainha, and a Masters in type design from KABK, Den Haag, 2010. She interned for one year with Rob Saunders in California (where she was curatorial assistant at Letterform Archive), taught at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco City College and Type@Cooper West program (where she also was program coordinator), and was based for some time in Brasilia, Brazil. Currently she lives in the Netherlands where she works as freelancer, collaborating with the foundry Feliciano Type, and teaching typography at the Type and Media Master. At KABK, she designed the Guia family in2010 for pedestrian wayfinding. In 2009, she did a revival (still at KABK) of Frank Hinman Pierpont's 1925 face, Horley Old Style. In 2016, she designed the pixel font TatiFox (FontStruct). Also check her type portraits: Ang San Suu Kyi, Jose Ramon Horta, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela. In 2018, House Industries published Coryn Didot and writes: Coryn Didot updates the Modern type style's elegant hairline strokes and crisp serifs by introducing a seductive squircular silhouette. Truly a font for lovers of alluring typography. Coryn Didot is based on a Photo-Lettering alphabet drawn by C.E. "Les" Coryn. The original appeared in the company's 1965 Alphabet Thesaurus Vol. 2 under the name Galax Didot. A revised design, introduced in the early 70s as Galaxy Didot, served as the basis for House Industries' version which was digitized by Tania Raposo in 2013. |
