Harri Sans marks a decisive evolution. Redefining traditional Basque lettering through the lens of modern minimalism, it consciously distills the iconic forms of the original Harri into clean, humanist proportions. This family provides a high-performance Basque sans font built for the rigors of contemporary global branding.

The calligraphic traits of the original curves have been meticulously adjusted to align with the precision of modern geometric sans serifs. Nevertheless, Harri Sans retains a slightly organic flavour, striking a perfect balance between cultural tradition and modern branding needs. The result is a distinctive display sans serif that offers ample opportunity for experimentation through an extensive set of ligatures and contextual alternates.

Whether used for high-impact posters, book covers, packaging, or digital interfaces, Harri Sans conveys clear and powerful messages with a unique local soul.

Las calles de Barcelona están llenas de letras — grabadas, fundidas y esmaltadas.
Placa, de Laura Meseguer, es una interpretación tipográfica del estilo más característico de las placas de las calles de la ciudad: una sans serif geométrica y condensada que define su ritmo visual.

Nació como encargo para el documental “Barcelona. La Rosa de Fuego” (dir. Manuel Huerga, prod. Mariona Omedes .ojos y Media Pro) con una pregunta clave:
¿Qué tipografía podría representar a Barcelona?

De ahí surgió Placa, una sans serif incisa con esqueleto geométrico y detalles precisos, más tarde ampliada en una familia completa — de Fina a Gruixuda, con Variable Font incluida.

Su nombre, Placa (“placa” en catalán y español), nació en conversación con Ferran de : una palabra sencilla, grabada en la superficie misma de la ciudad.

ZooLogic is a sans-serif typeface with rounded terminals that originated from a hand-lettering project. In 2007, CocoBooks published the work of the Japanese illustration group La Zoo, known for covers that integrate informal letterforms with their illustrations.

For the Spanish and Catalan editions, we sought to bring the rhythm of the original Japanese compositions into the Latin script, using the same finishing techniques and integration methods. This led to the creation of multiple variations for each character, resulting in a vibrant and diverse collection of cover designs.

When we began developing a typeface based on the characters used for La Zoo, we established an unconventional style system: a formal version (Style 1), a more idiosyncratic version (Style 2), and finally, the most informal of the family (Style 3), where the letterforms vary significantly in design and size, creating a lively, bouncing effect along the baseline.
