Meet the Network: Naipe Foundry
For our first episode, we're spending time with Álvaro Franca and Felipe Casaprima of Naipe Foundry. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the pair now run their studio from Barcelona.
Meet the Network is an Instagram video series highlighting the foundry partners of Type Network. Each episode offers a casual, behind-the-scenes glimpse into a partner's workspace, routine, and creative process.
This first episode features Naipe Foundry, where Álvaro and Felipe open up about navigating being both business and design partners, share a recent favorite project, and let us in on what they get up to when they're not designing type.
Since 2018, Naipe's work has been grounded in research and cultural context, and they collaborate with native script specialists to ensure quality and sensitivity across writing systems.
Watch the full episode on our Instagram Reels and more introductions from across the network are on the way.
Naipe Foundry designs custom typefaces and refines logotypes with care, curiosity and craft.
