About the family


Ecléctica doesn’t worry about labels. Is not a Humanist or Rational but isn’t a Transitional one either. While it refuses to be boxed into a type classification, it also nods to tradition. Abrupt and angular modulation, unexpected asymmetries in serifs– soft and pointed terminals and classical conventions in proportions might contradict each other, these are the details of the result of mashing up writing and type theories at its conception to become a typeface that let the text on the page breathe the tensions of its details. Its Italics present a contrast to the Roman version creating more dynamism by the angle while still maintaining cohesion upon closer inspection. As in every family, there’s a black sheep: This tilting version chose a controversial path: To disrupt its basic uppercase form by slashing the logic of its down strokes to create a running bridge in the main stems, it intends to provide a loud and robust voice to the group of letters.

About Sudtipos

Sudtipos is a new collective Argentinian type foundry. New blood, new attitude. A joint venture of four professional designers with lots of expertise in different areas like branding, packaging design, corporate identity, television and new media. “The foundry, or collective as we prefer to designate it, started because of that — packaging, editorial or brand designers making fonts for real designers” Alejandro Paul, one of the company’s founders, said in his Creative Characters interview. Alejandro “Ale” Paul made a name for himself drawing and programming some of the most intricate script fonts ever digitized. “My experience in branding product packaging was a natural catalyst for me to be interested in scripts and seek like-minded people for the collective.” The collective’s bestselling scripts include Bowling Script, Horizontes Script and Hipster Script Pro, which was named one of MyFonts’ most popular fonts of 2012, and was recognized by both Typographica and Type Directors Club that same year. “Our aim is to always be graphic designers making typefaces for graphic designers,” Ale said. “We try not to lose that particular focus. We’re always thinking about how to make a graphic designer’s work easier when it comes to using the type element in his or her design.” The Premium Foundry Page can be viewed Here.
