Cordillera
Latinotype · Luciano Vergara · 2023
A 36-style geometric grotesque with an alternate subfamily that shifts character between expressive titling and neutral text use.
About
Designed by Luciano Vergara and released in 2023, Cordillera combines classic proportions with geometric and neo-grotesque letterforms across nine weights with italics. The family is split into two subfamilies: Cordillera Family and Cordillera Alt, the latter offering alternate characters that adjust the typeface's personality without breaking the overall system's harmony. The result is a corporate-oriented sans that covers a broad range of applications within a single coherent family.
Classification
Cordillera blends geometric construction with neo-grotesque character forms, placing it at the intersection of those two sans-serif traditions. The Alt subfamily offers alternate glyphs that shift the feel from expressive to neutral within the same system.
