Ñaño explores the relationship between cultural heritage and contemporary design, transforming pre-Hispanic geometric patterns into a current typographic language
Ñaño is a modular typeface that reinterprets drawing systems from pre-Hispanic civilizations to build a formal structure based on rhythm, modularity and visual coherence. From this research, the project develops a type family composed of four weights with their corresponding italics and three style sets inspired by different historical geometric principles.
With 317 glyphs and support for 56 languages, the typeface is presented in an editorial specimen produced through artisanal printing and binding techniques, materializing the typographic research into a physical object.
