ABOUT

Sumotype Foundry [Oscar Fernando Guerrero Cañizares]

Born in 1981 in Colombia, Oscar Guerrero lives in Pasto, Narino, in the southwest of Colombia. His graduation work in 2012 at FADU UBA (University of Buenos Aires) is the Venetian text typeface Epica. Epica was first released in 2014 at Sumotype and later, in 2020, by Sudtipos as Epica Pro.

In 2014, he set up Sumotype Foundry in Bogota, Colombia. The Sumotype fonts include Proyecta (2014: a great wedge-serifed ultra-fat stencil typeface), Septima (2014, sans family for urban signage), Epica (2014 release: this typeface won an award at Tipos Latinos 2014), Farma (2014, a roundish headline sans), Republica del Diseño (2014, stencil), Moira (2014).

Typefaces from 2015: Babar (an inspiring heavy poster typeface also headed for stardom).

Typefaces from 2016: Pacha (free square-shaped tribal typeface with plenty of ligatures).

In 2018, he published the creamy fashion mag italic headline font Vala (Monotype).

In 2019, he added the retro script typeface Playland (Monotype).

Typefaces from 2021: June (a variable font by Fer Cozzi and Oscar Guerrero), Fuga (an experimental hybrid sans).

Typefaces from 2022: Gregor (a hybrid sans serif typeface family with two variants, Upright and Slanted; the design is inspired by some advertising graphic designs used in the United States during the 60's and 70's; published at Bastardatype), The Irish Pub (identity and custom typeface in a Celtic / beer bottle / German expressionist style).
