Sobre a família


The Koji Typeface Family debuts in 2025, designed by #carlosfabiancg @andinistas under the artistic direction of @jordi.teres. Its original concept was tied to a 2022 commission for Marchepied, the renowned contemporary dance company based in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The earliest sketches date back to 1999 and were first published in 2006 as the Nikona Font Family. The idea originated from tracing references found in books at the library of my first job as an art director at McCann Erickson, Caracas. There, working on an iMac G3, I began combining influences from The Designers Republic, Maniackers Design(マニアッカーズ デザイン | mksd)は群馬県高崎市を拠点に, 2Advanced Studios, and films like Minority Report. Fortunately, I gathered multiple bright and meaningful starting points, which were essential in shaping Koji’s retro-futuristic style—rooted in the typographic logic of Wim Crouwel and his modular grid system of horizontal and vertical fills and spaces.

Koji is a type family organized into two groups. The first includes weights designed for short paragraphs that require Light, Regular, and Bold styles. The second, called WIDE, features three weights labeled 200, 400, and 800. Both groups are characterized by expressive letterforms with subtle contrast between thick and thin strokes, lending them a robotic feel. The lowercase letters have shorter ascenders and descenders than the x-height, resulting in a compact vertical texture when compared to the proportions of the uppercase characters. Angular forms and hexagonal corners—reminiscent of typefaces like MICR and OCR-B—evoke the retro-digital aesthetic of dot matrix printers. Koji is ideal for film credits or visual environments inspired by Blade Runner, as well as science fiction projects influenced by Asimov, manga, or the visual world of comics and specialty toy shops dedicated to Japanese mecha anime robots.

Sobre 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.
