Choriza
Manufacturas Tipográficas Madrileñas · Juanjo López · 2013
A three-layer chromatic display typeface by Juanjo López, inspired by sliced chorizo sausage and designed for colour layering, with a companion sans variant featuring cut ends.
About
Choriza comprises Background, Shadow and Hairline layers that can be combined and coloured independently, borrowing its rounded modular forms from the cross-section of a sliced Spanish chorizo. The family includes Choriza Sans, which removes the curved terminals for a cleaner cut. At 352 glyphs, the set covers broad Latin script use despite the typeface's deliberately experimental origins.
Classification
A multilayered chromatic display typeface with three layers (Background, Shadow, Hairline) designed for colour printing. Its playful, sausage-inspired modular forms and layered construction place it firmly in the display category.
