About
Quintana-Font designs, publishes and distributes carefully crafted typeface families that meet the diverse needs of today's visual communication.
☞ We create new type families with a focus on creativity, cultural diversity, technology, and functionality. Our projects are inspired by various artistic and cultural expressions, which offer us conceptual, aesthetic, and social perspectives.
☞ We develop typographic and pictographic systems that can be expanded continuously. We are interested in both long-term and short-term projects. We use the latest technology to optimize font production and allow more time for reflection and experimentation. Our focus is on precision and creativity.
☞ We enjoy tackling new design challenges, listening to ideas, and exploring new possibilities to expand our projects. If you are interested in proposing an idea, inquiring about our licenses, or applying for work, please contact us at hola@quintana-font.cl.
During these last years we have worked with different peoples, collectives, institutions, companies and corporations, either selling them licenses, making a customized versions of a typeface or creating a custom font family or pictogram system. We also have involved in several editorial design, visual identity, and lettering projects based on our typographic work.
It is always a pleasure to collaborate and work with creative people open to new ideas, if there is something wonderful and fascinating about typography is that it is a tool with so many possibilities and options to make beautiful things.
