After taking part in the Bienal Letras Latinas 2006 with MelloSans and in Tipos Latinos 2008 with Frida, we kept the tradition: FS Jack, a new sans typesystem designed by me and Jason Smith at Fontsmith, was selected in the family category in Tipos Latinos 2010.

Apart from having MelloSans as the corporate font for the event’s identity, now FS Jack will also take part in all the upcoming exhibitions throughout Latin America and other parts of the world. Below is the A1 poster we just designed at Fontsmith for the exhibitions.

FS Jack is a workhorse but also very ownable and distinctive display/text sans-serif, available in a good range of weights which were carefully crafted by Jason and me in the last 2 years. Head to http://www.fontsmith.com for more information.

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.
