FS Pimlico is my new design at Fontsmith. The typeface consists of three weights with true italics plus a ‘glow’ version with shiny bits. It’s a very personal project which reflects a bit of my passion for the 70s/80s atmosphere and things like synthesizers, Letraset, disco & funk vinyl covers and so on. It’s a very flexible family, ready to solve difficult design briefs with its broad range of uses, from text to display. Available to buy from www.fontsmith.com.

The humanist sans-serif family MelloSans was my conclusive project in University back in São Paulo in 2004. Since then, the family became quite popular mainly due to a selection in the Bienal Letras Latinas in 2006. I have been receiving loads of e-mails in the last years asking where is the font available, and the sad truth is, it isn’t released anywhere. But the good news is, I’ve been reworking the family on the past three years, and finally, some hope arises: it will be used as the corporate typeface for the upcoming Bienal Tipos Latinos in 2010.
