Tassier
Lechuga Type · Antonio Mejía Lechuga
A typeface digitised from the handwritten manuscripts of Mexican graphic designer Gonzalo Tassier, created as a tribute for a posthumous book honouring his life and work.
About
Drawn from original handwritten pages provided by Tassier's daughter, the design involved selecting two to three glyph variants per character and adding ligatures to preserve the natural irregularity of his hand. Vectorised in Illustrator and refined in Glyphs, the family includes over 300 characters, with alternate glyph programming handled by Elí Castellanos. Available on a pay-what-you-want basis, the typeface functions as both a working text font and a personal archive of a significant figure in Mexican graphic design.
Classification
A digitised handwriting typeface drawn directly from the manuscripts of Gonzalo Tassier, with alternate glyphs and ligatures to simulate natural script variation. Classified as script due to its direct derivation from cursive handwriting rather than calligraphic or brush traditions.
