Quintana-Font creates new typeface families with a focus on creativity, cultural diversity, technology, and functionality. Their projects are inspired by diverse artistic and cultural expressions that provide them with conceptual, aesthetic, and social perspectives. They develop typographic and pictographic systems that can be continuously expanded. Whether it&#x27;s a long-term or short-term project, Quintana-Font uses the latest technology to streamline type production and allow more time for reflection and experimentation.

Violeta is a type family designed for text, its bold and particular look find precedents in Baroque and Expressionism. These typographic styles references helped us to develop an organic structure, which understands that the diversity of features and exuberant formal resources are viable ways to provide a balanced and comfortable texture for immersive reading. The main characteristic of Violeta is its stark reverse contrast. Violeta has decanted slowly, without anxiety, completely oblivious to the passing moments of fashion or trends of disposable design, which have gained so much space in our culture. Each glyph in Violeta has had time to mature until it has reached its own expression. The family consists of six weights, each on roman and italic, and also one illuminated upper case title style with three different floral patterns. Violeta has been designed for complex editorial uses, has many typographic refinements to delight the sharpest designers.

Loica Sans is a new (yes, one more) interpretation of neo-grotesque typographic style with a subtle exuberant attitude. Our version seeks to give, to a style that is characterized by being “transparent” and “neutral”, a sophisticated look by drawing some glyphs with subtly exuberant strokes.The general idea is to subvert the supposed neutrality of this style, which like many others in typography, is full of subtleties and details.Loica Sans is a simple and solid typeface family, which takes the best of the neo-grotesque style —its timeless look and sturdy proportions— giving a subtle exuberant expression to some glyphs, which provides a more contemporary structure, ideal for communication projects that seek a modern and transparent style, but with a bold and playful attitude more in line with the times.Available as a Variable Font, OpenType, TrueType, and WebFonts.

Modérnica is a Grotesque sans serif type family including roman &amp; oblique styles in 9 weights. Its design has two distinctive features within the style: a slightly reversed contrast, and curved strokes and terminals that subtly evoke the shape of sans serif letters drawn with a sign painting brush.Originally published in 2014, in 2020 we launched version 2.0, in which we extended the language coverage and included a new Fat weight, tabular figures, smart fractions, arrows, and improved the OpenType features. Seeking for the best performance, we added a bit of spacing between letters in the text versions (middle weights from Book to Bold), while as for the display variants (extreme weights from Thin to Fat) we made them gain space in the light versions and loose it in the blacks. Something we didn’t change for sure is the fluid rhythm &amp; friendly structure. Modérnica is a tool that provides a wide range of possibilities for the design workflow in different formats.

RunRun is an austere typeface family for handwritten style texts with a relaxed rhythm, consisting of three weights with subtly different thicknesses, also available as a Variable Font. Despite its casual look, RunRun was designed to work well in immersive reading texts, such as graphic novels, comic books, or children’s books, so it has an extensive glyph set that includes many typographic refinements, such as small caps, different figures, ligatures, and contextual alternates. Along with this, we added a set of face emojis to complement the applications and the mood of the typeface family. Run Run is the name given in Chile to Hymenops perspicillatus, a bird native to south-central South America; it is also the title of a popular song by Violeta Parra (Run Run se fue pa’l norte / Run Run went to the north), and the name of a children’s game using a button and wool that is spun by pulling it.
