Mujeres Hispanas y Tipografía was a special online edition of the Typographer-in-Residence program. The project invited five women designers and researchers from Spanish-speaking countries to develop independent work related to typography and visual communication. The residents approached the subject from their own professional and cultural backgrounds.
Laura Meseguer (Spain) created a stencil typeface that connects the movement of handwriting with typographic structure. Marina Garone Gravier (Argentina/Mexico) researched and wrote about Carolina Amor de Fournier, a key figure in Mexican publishing and printing history. Sandra García (Colombia/Mexico) and Dafne Martínez (Mexico) collaborated on a typeface designed to help children in early reading stages, based on research into early literacy materials in Mexico. Jimena Gamio (Peru/Los Angeles) focused on the Quechua language, exploring its relationship to Peruvian Spanish and how language shapes visual expression.
