Sutturah

Typography
Rosetta Type

[E] What began as a typographic experiment ended up as my first commercial font. Available at Rosetta Type. Finally the cyrillic is completed too. Here you have an overview of the project. If you bought it and you have done something with it, send it to me! I would love to see it.

Textura
[Ñ] Puede parecer curioso pero originalmente no pretendía que Sutturah tuviera formas muy particulares sino que creara una textura particular. Las curvas tan curiosas son una consecuencia posterior
Texture

Typographic experiment. Display font with deep cuts on it. It is super cool for big sizes and it creates a weird texture in small ones.
