FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Martina Flor Independent Argentinian designer (b. 1982) who was an assistant in the graphic design program at the University of Buenos Aires from 2003 until 2009. Graduate of the Masters program in type design at KABK, 2010. Martina set up her own Martina Flor Type Foundry in 2014. She presently lives in Berlin and teaches type design at Dessau where she initiated and manages Kurz Project in Type Design. Author of The Golden Secrets of Lettering (Princeton Architectural Press and Thames & Hudson, 2017). Cofounder of the online competition Lettering versus calligraphy. At KABK, she created the script family Supernova (2010) for packaging and signage. Supernova can be bought at Typotheque. Read about it here. Her other lettering work is special too---I particularly appreciate her wedding cards for Mariana and Nacho. She did a revival of Berthold's Augustea in 2009, while still at KABK. At her own foundry, in 2014, she published the connected handwriting font family Wonderhand (2014)---it has three axes of parameters, thickness, width and slope (0, 20 or 40 degrees). In 2018, Martina Flor and Neil Summerour (Positype) published the layerable Tuscan typeface family Decorata. In 2019, the same duo released Ribbons at Positype. Typecache link. Behance link.
