DESCRIPTION

Maíz is a variable typeface with three masters, designed from a single case due to its structure and geometric complexity. The typeface is inspired by the drawings of artist Antonio Grass, specifically his Drawings of an Incomplete Alphabet series, presented at the Second Biennial of Graphic Arts in Cali in 1973.

The ultra-thin diacritics reference the fine hairs of the corn cob, visually linking the form of the typeface to its name. Currently, Maíz includes an extensive character set, making it compatible with multiple languages that use the Latin writing system.

The project was developed by Juan Pablo Fajardo, researcher and director of the studio Piedra Tijera Papel, known for his work at the intersection of graphic design, visual heritage, and typographic experimentation.

Maíz Var premiered at the NC Diseño space in Bogotá, where it was showcased as part of an exhibition dedicated to new voices in Latin American type design.
Maíz es una fuente tipográfica variable con tres estados, diseñada a partir de una única caja debido a su estructura y complejidad geométrica. Esta tipografía está inspirada en los dibujos del artista Antonio Grass, específicamente en su serie de dibujos de un alfabeto incompleto, presentada en la Segunda Bienal de Artes Gráficas de Cali en 1973.

Los diacríticos ultra delgados hacen referencia a los finos pelos de la mazorca, conectando visualmente la forma de la fuente con su nombre. Actualmente, Maíz cuenta con un extenso set de caracteres, lo que le permite ser compatible con múltiples lenguas que utilizan el sistema de escritura latino.

El desarrollo del proyecto estuvo a cargo de Juan Pablo Fajardo, investigador y director del estudio Piedra Tijera Papel, conocido por su trabajo en el cruce entre diseño gráfico, patrimonio visual y experimentación tipográfica.

Maíz Var se estrenó en la exposición del espacio NC Diseño en Bogotá, donde fue presentada como parte de una muestra dedicada a nuevas voces en el diseño tipográfico latinoamericano.
