I’m a freelance designer from Rosario, Argentina based in Berlin. I hold an specialization in Typeface Design from the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I currently am a guest professor. Since 2008 I run my own studio, focused in editorial design. I’m also co-founder and partner at Huerta Tipográfica —an independent font foundry established in 2010—, where I specialise in researching, creating and developing innovative typefaces, custom type design and advisory for external projects. I have a particular interest in language issues, specially native languages from Latin America. Andada ht, the typeface I designed as part of her specialization, was awarded with the BID_10 prize at the 2010 competition. I have given lectures and workshop in type design and typography in Argentina and Europe. My work has been part of several exhibitions such as Tipos Latinos (Latin America), MAMM (Argentina), MDML (Portugal), BID (Spain).
