"Is it possible to transform a situation that is imposed from the outside, into the protagonist of opportunity?"
I wrote a post for the serie of Bette(r) Days: stories about things that didn’t suck during this year.

Many typeface designers have the opportunity at some point to get out of the cave and open their eyes to a project outside of their comfort zone, outside of their daily design routine. That is where we found ourselves when we accepted a proposal to develop a font for the Odia script, a writing system in which we are not native. From the beginning, we understood that collaboration would be our best strategy to face this challenge; designing and producing a typeface in a writing system we do not know nor understand. The collaborative experience was extremely enriching and gave us a different perspective on our practice. However, we also encountered some limitations during that process. Our talk will shine a light on collaborative processes. We will present our typeface, Noto Sans Odia, through the prism of exchanges we had during the making of the project: communication between the designers, teamwork with the consultants, discussion with the software makers (@glyphsapp ), etc. The collaboration between us all is what made the project possible.

We are pleased to announce the release of Confitería, the new type family designed by @julietaula , in collaboration with @tullida and published by Sudtipos. ••• Julieta says: ‘Confitería is the Spanish word for a shop where sweets and chocolates are made and sold, which sometimes has a tea room. And now Confitería is also a font that brings to mind lettering piped on delicate cakes ... sweet but never sickly.
This font captures something of that simple and innocent beauty of traditional confiterías, where good manners will never go out of fashion, menus are elegant and time comes to a standstill to make way for life’s little pleasures. A confitería is a perfect place to share sweet tidbits with a friend or date, eavesdrop on the conversation at the next table, read a book, or just people-watch from the window. I celebrated my last birthday at one.
There is one iconic confitería in Buenos Aires that I love more than the rest because, some 60 years ago, it put up its marvellous sign and never took it down. Walking by it is sure to bring a smile to your face. It’s big. Very big. And the lettering in its name is written in a timelessly beautiful vertical script – the most attractive I have ever seen.
I joined forces with Sol Matas – who worked with me to update the Montserrat font –to design this geometrical connected font with pleasant, even strokes. It is elegant and saccharine-free. And to top it off, it comes in several flavors.’ Welcome! What can we get you? •••
Confitería is available at Sudtipos.
This week we started teaching a workshop at @telmo_dice , a design festival in Málaga, Spain. Thanks to all the students who attended our class and special thanks to the organisers.
We had a great time meeting new friends, talking about type design and enjoying delicious tortilla española 💛& cañas!
