Latinotype · Jorge Martinez · 2020

About
Spanning Compressed, Condensed, Standard and Extended sub-families across six weights with matching italics, Galeana totals 48 styles across 417 glyphs supporting over 200 Latin-based languages. The closed aperture and flat sides give it a compact, authoritative presence suited to headlines, brand identity and editorial work. The narrowest and heaviest cuts are said to evoke the slender trunks of the African tulip tree, with wider widths echoing the broad spread of its canopy.
Classification
A flat-sided grotesque sans with closed aperture and narrow proportions, spanning four widths from Compressed to Extended. The tight aperture and geometric construction place it firmly in the grotesque tradition with a contemporary Latin American editorial sensibility.
