Eller Type

Eller Type represents the latest endeavor in Emerson Eller's professional journey, focusing particularly on the art of type design. He is a professor, academic researcher, and independent type designer based in Brazil. Eller's type designs reflect his profound interest in history and vernacular culture. The foundry debuted with the release of the Sagarana font family in 2017, garnering considerable acclaim and ranking among the top twenty Hot New Fonts upon its release in Myfonts. Since then, Eller has delved deeper into type design matter, combining historical research and technical studies to develop the first text font, Itacolomi. This font family stems from extensive investigations into Scottish-style types crafted in Brazil circa 1820. Following that, Perva was published – an innovative multiple-classification font family inspired by display types from the 19th century. Alongside retail fonts, Eller Type's portfolio has continued to expand with commissioned works and collaborations. In short, Eller Type combines historical elements with contemporary trends to create high-quality fonts.
