Fer Cozzi is a type designer from Buenos Aires whose work grows from long study, steady practice, and a clear curiosity about how letters behave. She studied at the University of Buenos Aires and completed the CDT Type Design Specialization, later expanding her focus through programs dedicated to Devanagari, Cyrillic, Python for type design, and calligraphy. She works independently and collaborates with studios internationally on custom type, extensions, wordmarks, and typographic consultancy.
Alongside her practice, she has built a substantial teaching presence. She is a professor in the Master in Type Design at the University of Buenos Aires, teaches in Type West Online at Letterform Archive, and leads workshops across Latin America, the United States, and Europe. What makes her teaching compelling is the blend of research and practice she brings into the room. Students who work with her get insight into how contemporary type is made, tested, revised, and understood within a larger cultural context.
She has been part of key studies on Latin American typography and has given talks at ATypI, Bauhaus Universität Weimar, and numerous design festivals, often sharing her process with a mix of rigor and openness. Her projects have received recognition from Gerard Unger Scholarship juries, Modern Cyrillic, Founder Type Design Competition, Sello Buen Diseño, Typographica’s Favorite Typefaces, and Tipos Latinos. 

About the research project
The project proposes an exploration of the shapes in the Latin alphabet, approaching letters as acts of expression. Through close attention to the experience of reading, it will investigate ways of giving form to language by studying the graphic, syntactic, and semantic systems that shape how writing is perceived. It will consider how the identity of letters emerges from the tension between established conventions and new possibilities, and how gesture and movement in writing can influence that balance. The outcome will be a typographic system with multiple variables shaped by these investigations.
