Today we welcome Darío M. Muhafara and Eduardo Rodríguez Tunni’s foundry, Tipo, which gathers the work of Argentina᾿s finest type designers. Of these, Rubén Fontana is the elder statesman. His Chaco was designed for road signs in Latin America which makes it both legible and full of lively flavor. The family was recently expanded to five weights, each with italics, small caps, oldstyle figures, and released in OpenType, making it a versatile system for publication texts and headlines alike.

The first sketches of this face came from studying the rounded shapes of a special kind of sewing machine technique called overlock. Darío Muhafara managed to retain a warm, organic quality to the design despite reworking it to have the readability and typographic features of a text face. An accomplished, useful family, Overlock was selected for excellence by the Letras Latinas awards.
