- In 2014, she co-designed Uomo with Miguel Hernandez at Latinotype. Uomo is a contemporary typographic system that explores the geometric sans style and Italian art deco in combinations of four widths and three weights. It was republished in 2021 at Alphabets by Chileans.
- Co-designer with Miguel Hernandez of ABC Normal (2016) which they motivate in this way: Normal is a working horse for the Modern Grotesk Canon, result of study of the models from Theinhardt, Renner, Novarese & Gerstner; avoiding to reveal a personal style. It is timeless but has a large x-height (which makes it not so timeless).
- Kuppa (2018). Her graduation typeface at the University of Reading. Kuppa is a versatile typeface designed in five weights for roman, sans and Arabic. It is intended for use in magazines.
- Aktuell. A sans.
