BeJota [Bruno Jara Ahumada]

Santiago, Chile-born type designer who graduated from Universidad de Santiago de Chile in 2015 and 2016. After work at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo and Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, he joined the Latinotype foundry in Santiago. He moved to Konstanz, Germany and set up his own type foundry, BeJota in 2021.

In 2016, Bruno Jara Ahumada, Alfonso Garcia, Luciano Vergara, Daniel Hernandez and the Latinotype Team designed the roman square capital headline typeface family Assemblage.

With Luciano Vergara, he designed the angular Jurassic park style typeface Los Lana Niu (2016).

In 2018, inspired by Herb Lubalin's ITC Serif Gothic, Jorge Cisterna and Bruno Jara co-designed the layerable font family Lumiere at Latinotype.

Typefaces from 2019: Galeria (Latinotype: a monoline slab serif typeface inspired by modern art gallery buildings, museums and cultural centers where organic forms and straight lines predominate).

In 2019, Jorge Cisterna and Bruno Jara developed the vintage layerable typeface Blackberry (Los Andes). Blackberry is inspired by vintage packaging and old fashion ads. It has woodtype characteristics such as angular serifs, and light and diagonal curves.
