{"title":"Helena De Barros","description":"Helena de Barros, aka Helenbar, is a Brazilian graphic designer, artist, researcher, and type designer. Trained as a graphic designer in the early 1990s, she began designing typefaces in 1994, when digital font production was still a less widespread practice among emerging designers.\n\nShe holds a PhD in design and is a professor at the Rio de Janeiro State University (ESDI\/UERJ), where her work centers on graphic memory, printed artifacts, and the material history of visual language.\n\nAs a type designer, Helena approaches type design as an extension of research practice, drawing from handwriting, historical sources, and printed matter to investigate how material constraints and graphic processes can inform contemporary expressive and display typefaces.","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.myfonts.com\/de\/collections\/helena-de-barros.oembed","provider":"MyFonts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
