روح فريدة

Hand drawn body, humanist soul

As a sensitive counter-response to the advance of AI in all fields, Otta aims to vibrate on a profoundly human frequency. Its gentle, organic tone seeks a return to the human sense, to the delicacy of the artisanal and the handmade. Otta has been carefully drawn under a criterion of rhythm that aims to synthesize both calligraphic and typographic forms suitable for continuous reading. Like other typefaces in our library, Otta is also the result of an exploration of horizontal contrast in type design, this time following the example of scripts that use it as part of their tradition, such as Arabic and Greek. Otta is also an ambitious multi-script family, it was specifically designed by Francisco to compose his own book on typography ‘Hacer y Componer’ (‘Making and Composing’) — a must-read for type lovers, in which he needed to combine on a single page various scripts in a harmonious way. Otta is undoubtedly Francisco Gálvez's greatest type design achievement to date, and the PampaType team is proud to publish it.
