About Cazon Font Family


Cazon is a font family designed by Carlos Fabian Camargo. It has 7 fonts inspired by typical signs drawn on the boards of the popular market of La Guaira town in Caracas, Venezuela. Is a suite of compatible hand-drawn script and display faces, with a load of shadow effects, banners, dingbats and catchwords thrown in for good measure. Taken as a whole, the family exudes warmth and a cozy, homely shabbiness — each style also works well individually. This collection will be very much at home on posters, personal stationery, book covers and magazine layouts. The cazón is a shark used in Venezuela to prepare empanadas and arepas.

About Andinistas

The word "Andinistas" roughly translates to "people devoted to the Andes." In Venezuela, it is the word used to describe the people who climb the slopes of Pico Bolívar, the country's highest mountain. Carlos Fabián Camargo Guerrero, the founder of Andinistas Fonts, found this name to be interesting because of its resonance and relationship with the unknown.Carlos is one of the first designers from Colombia or Venezuela to be able to make it as a full-time type designer. His experience of living in both countries has allowed him to tap into their colorful visual cultures and bring aspects of each of them into his designs. He is proud of both countries, as they have been an inexhaustible source of ideas to him.Carlos joined MyFonts in 2006. Since then, his designs have evolved from a streetwise, sassy grunge style to a series of energetic and personable scripts and display fonts. He says that in typeface design, we can never say we have learned enough. When we look at old classics, we realize that what we need to learn is inexhaustible. We never get anything definitively.Today, Carlos feels that the word "Andinistas" also has a valuable meaning for him personally. It has taken many years of experience before he slowly received some recognition for his foundry. This has required profound conviction and the will to surpass oneself. So the word combines concepts like spectacular beauty and adventure with the idea of overcoming challenges and getting to the top with work and creative effort.
