Lalola & Magasin
Laura Meseguer ist eine Grafik- und Type-Designerin aus Barcelona. Über Type-Ø-Tones hat sie bereits einige Schriften veröffentlicht. Zwei jüngere Veröffentlichungen sind Lalola und Magasin. Lalola hat einen Platz in der Bestenliste 2013 von typefacts ergattern können und auch ihre Einreichung beim TDC Schriftgestaltungs-Wettbewerb war erfolgreich. Die offizielle Verkündung der Ergebnisse steht zwar noch aus, fest steht aber bereits, dass Lalola die Jury überzeugen konnte und bald auch ganz offiziell mit einem TDC Certificate of Excellence 2014 ausgezeichnet wird.
Lalola (first born as Lola in 1997) is a display typeface inspired by a lettering model found in the book »Schriftschreiben Schriftzeichnen« by Eugen Nerdinger and Lisa Beck. Lalola takes the few letters available from that model as a starting point – a Dynamisierte Grotesk schmalfett (Dynamized Sans Condensed Bold) typeface – and becomes a single style typeface with strong character. Lalola looks great when some upper case and loud voice words are needed. It comes with all the necessary characters for the languages based on the Latin alphabet, which makes Lalola a versatile typeface.
Lalola received already two mentions, the Typefacts’ Best Typefaces of 2013 and the prestigious TDC 2014 Certificate of Excellence.

Magasin is a high contrast display typeface inspired by the pointed pen and copperplate calligraphy, yet with a retro-chic twist. It combines a sense of script with geometric and slightly condensed structure resulting in idiosyncratic curves softly connecting the vertical elegance of its forms, ideally suited to use at large sizes in headlines for magazines, posters or packaging. Magasin boasts a rich set of OpenType features that provide a better flow such as Ligatures, Stylistic Alternates, Contextual Alternates, and Final Forms. It also includes a set of capital Swashes.
