A Mexican business magazine named Expansión commissioned us the design of a typeface to be used in the magazine. On one hand the type had to be very comfortable to read and be perceived as solid and consistent with tradition. On the other it should wear a slight Latin American feel.

Periodista is a new scotch roman type, the archetypical font style used in newspapers and magazines. We introduced in it a little bit of spiciness so it gives the text a more vivid rhythm on the page. The type system includes different fonts for text, titling, and summaries, all with roman, cursives, and small caps, plus a sanserif version in a few weights to combine with the romans.
