Los Lana Niu
Latinotype · Bruno Jara, Luciano Vergara · 2016
A 2016 redesign of the 2007 Los Lana, expanding a single-style rustic display face into 24 styles across four subfamilies, with extensive ligature sets and small caps throughout.
About
Built on angular, curve-free letterforms that evoke hand-crafted irregularity, Los Lana Niu preserves the rough character of its predecessor while adding considerable typographic utility. The family spans five weights plus an Inline cut, with small caps and alternate essential subfamilies providing flexibility for headlines, posters and branding work. OpenType features including stylistic ligatures and contextual alternates are concentrated in the Pro subfamily, which offers 820 glyphs.
Classification
An angular, irregular display typeface with deliberately rough, rustic aesthetics and no curves, designed for headlines and branding rather than continuous text. Its constructed, woodcut-like character places it firmly in the display category.
