Monasterio is a display type family interested in the tactile. Inspired by the sculptural works of Luiz Ortiz Monasterio and informed by Edward Catich’s Origin of the Serif, Monasterio currently consists of four styles intended for two ends of a typographer’s scale. Monasterio hopes to cover a wide spectrum of uses from the monumental to the intimate. This typeface was created as a final project for the Letterform Archive’s Type West program. 

Professors: Graham Bradley, James Edmondson. Special thanks: Graham Bradley, Lynne Yun, Kel Troughton, and the entire Letterform Archive Staff and Type West student body. 

Genoa

Type Design

2021

Genoa is a digital revival of a roman type indicative of the French Renaissance, printed by Christophe Plantin during the 16th century. This revival was an excercise in form and an excursion into an interpretation of historic forms for a contemporary context. Created during the first term of the Letterform Archive’s Type West program.

Professors: Graham Bradley, Kel Troughton.  Reference: Letterform Archive
