Ciudadela

Ciudadela_LC is a display typeface. The letter shapes and behaviour is inspiration by the artistic blacksmith work found in doors, windows and balconies of Buenos Aires. The main premise when building this typeface was: how would a "reja" write? Reviving a "letra" or typeface found on fences was not the goal but rather deciding which shapes and techniques could be translated into a system. The result are letters that overlap and connect in four styles: Open, Closed, Casted and Forged.
