Tejuela (Spanish for “Wood Shingle”) is a neoclassical type inspired by the wooden architecture of the ancient churches of Chiloé, an archipelago in southern Chile; which are World Heritage Sites. This typeface has rough and broken forms but with soft strokes.
The neoclassical characteristic of Tejuela is due to the architecture of these temples, which belong to this style but adapted to wood with excellent quality and ingenuity by Chilote builders using a material available in the area. Therefore, this typeface reflects the tradition of the fonts of that period, but adapted to the coarseness and warmth of the southern wood of the new world.

Tejuela is useful for extensive texts in literature, history, art and heritage; as also for short and large phrases in headlines according to the occasion.

Tejuela has eight variants in Roman a Italic versions, with small caps, Old Style and Lining numbers, ligatures, alternative glyphs, among other OpenType features; special mention to the capital letters Swash of the italic versions, which serve to generate delicate compositions. In addition, it has two stylistic sets to compose border ornaments inspired by the Chilote Architecture: colonnades and corners, only using the numbers on the keyboard; it is important that the line spacing has the same value as the font.
Its 800 to 940 glyphs are suitable for writing 219 different languages.

I appreciate the great help of Franco Jonas, Alexis Navarro, Marcela Aguilera, Pedro González & Diego Aravena in this process, among many people of the craft that they supported selflessly.

DM PopCap was created as a typeface to accompany a 2013 LEGO project, which itself was inspired by the music video for Scream by Michael and Janet Jackson.

I had to create the typeface in order to make my own title cards. Although the resulting font looks similar to the text that appears in the music video, I also set myself the challenge of creating the remaining characters of the alphabet, as well as others that some would find useful.

As suggested, the typeface would be idea in a futuristic or technological setting, particularly concerning space travel.

For the LEGO project, I had paired this typeface with Myriad Pro. As with my other offerings, this font is intended for use as a heading or standalone title - but it also appears to work on its own for small paragraphs of text.

Graphit is a typeface designed by Lit Design Studio & curated by HvD Fonts. It combines clear, geometric shapes with edgy yet finely-crafted details. Graphit features uncompromising characters such as G, Q, f, k and 1. It works well both for impactful headlines and for reading sizes. The type family consists of six weights plus matching italics.

In early 2018, Livius Dietzel & Tom Hoßfeld started developing the typeface’s essential character and released a free font named after the studio, Lit. Just a few months later, Hannes von Döhren had a look at the typeface and suggested expanding it into a family – then publishing it with HvD Fonts. They drew every single letter from scratch, and also decided to give the font a new name — Graphit.

The family features six low-contrast weights, ranging from Black to Thin. Every character has been crafted to give it a distinctive and individual feel. Medium, Regular and Light are optimized for usage in copy text. For smaller font sizes & longer body copy, the alternate character set features a double-story a and a simplified Q, f, r and t for improved legibility. All fonts are manually hinted for optimal performance on digital devices.

Thank you for inspiration Alvar Aalto!
