About the family


Partner was born out of a dialogue with a place and a way of understanding food. The project remained on hold for some time, until it was reactivated through a very specific commission: the creation of a custom typeface for a neo-bistro by a renowned chef in Argentina. A space where technique meets ease, where precision coexists with warmth, and tradition is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The first iteration was a sans serif in two weights, designed to live naturally within the restaurant—clear, functional, and quietly refined. From this real, everyday use, the family began to expand, eventually growing into nine weights with true italics. Along that path, a key idea emerged: to extrapolate the original structure and allow it to evolve—without fracture—into a serif. Partner is a variable type family in which sans and serif coexist within a single file, connected by a continuous axis that moves seamlessly from one to the other, and from light to black. The incised serifs are not a historical gesture, but a contemporary tool—sharpening the voice, adding texture and tension, and opening the door to a more editorial expression. Inspired by the intersection of graphic design, fashion, and 20th-century visual culture, Partner translates that sensibility into a modern typographic system. It is subtle, elegant, and timeless; classic without stiffness, modern without excess. A versatile typeface designed to adapt, to accompany, and to elevate without insisting. The family also includes a set of connected uppercase letters, offering an alternative rhythm and a more expressive, editorial tone. Partner feels at home in contexts where form is part of the narrative: gastronomy, fashion, perfumes, fine beverages, books, and magazines. Much like a neo-bistro, it balances technique and approachability, precision and pleasure—effortless, but never casual.

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.
