ABOUT







Miguel Angel Hernández Montoya

Miguel Hernandez is a graphic designer, type designer, illustrator and teacher in Santiago de Chile. Born in 1977 in Concepcion Chile, he studied Graphic Design at Universidad del BioBio State University in Chillan, Chile. He currently teaches Typography at Universidad Diego Portalesand and Universidad de las Americas in Santiago de Chile. Miguel contributed greatly to the early success of the Chilean type foundry Latinotype which he cofounded in 2007 with Felipe Soto in Concepción, Chile. In 2011, he cofounded Los Andes Type. Some time in or just before 2015, he broke his relationship with Latinotype. In 2015, he set up ABC Alphabets by Chileans together with Tania Chacana. In 2020, Joaquin Contreras and Miguel Hernandez Montoya set up Archetypo.xyz from their new base in Germany. His typefaces:

Before Latinotype, Miguel Hernandez created many pixel typefaces. The typefaces made in that period before 2007 include:

  • The truly perfect pixel font family Fundamental (2003).
  • The pixel font Sligthest.
  • The sans family Chile (2004), Chile Sans (2005). Chile Sans won at the Tipos Latinos 2008 competition.
  • The highway signage typeface Optica (2004).
  • The fifties diner-style screen font Detroit 45 (2002).
  • The bitmap display font Kuppa (2003).
  • The church stone engraving simulation typeface Finaita (2002).
  • The Western pixel font Arizona (2003, perfect!).
  • The bitmap handwriting font Wolfgang Bold.
  • The screen font Screenager (2002).
  • The funky bitmap font Groobit.
  • Minority (2002, a very small screen font).
  • Fundamental (2002, a very original screen font, with ligatures for "rr" and "LL", for example), which was subsequently published at tipografia.cl.
  • The ultimate pixel font Miguel's Three Dots (2002).
  • The pixel display font Circa (2002).
  • The pixel fonts Capitalista, Garadot (2003, a fantastic pixel version of an elegant Garamond) and Harmonica.
  • The script pixel fonts Anticrisp (2003) and Essential Bold.
  • The gray pixel typeface Sushi (2004, hiragana, katakana, Latin).
  • The serif font Quetzal (2003).
  • The bitmap family Sugar (2003).
  • The bitmap family Apple (2004, based on Apple's Chicago).
  • At Atomic Media, he released Carbona and Carbona Bold in 2002, as well as 12 bitmap fonts in 2003: Maya, Fundamental, Azteca, Tekilla, Aymara, Minority, Quadratis, Carnoa Plain&Bold, Machina Typewriter, Dotic (blackletter), Mezcal, Circa.
  • In 2004, he joined Ultra Pixel Fonts, where he made the pixel typefaces Orbital, Sugar, Odyssey, Solar, Voltage, Jetson.
  • At Latinotype, he made Picara Sans (2007, an organic sans), Cadena (2007, a rounded sans which won at Tipos Latinos 2008), Love (2007, ultra fat rounded) and Mote (2007, rounded sans display face).
  • Co-designer with Tania Chacana 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. There is a 2021 version as well, ABC Normal, a 24-style modern grotesk still with large x-height, again by Miguel Hernandez Montoya, with production assistance of Tania Chacana.
  • Designer of the sans typeface AA Idea (2021).
  • Uomo (2021, Alphabets by Chileans). Created by Miguel Hernandez, Tania Chacana and Miguel Hernandez Montoya, this 27-style all caps typeface features Italian art deco elements. /UL>
