I'm very curious about this typeface by Natalia Fernandez. Eduardo has given me one lead through the Shoutbox. Any other ideas? -- Thank you.

Seems like La Se�o is a custom typeface for an editorial company.
But I think you should just email her.
Apparently she has a new email address, see here.

Tiff don't forget Alejandro LoCelso... our mate from blighty who brought Ruben Fontana to see us and Chris. He probably knows a bit about anything Argentinean. I think he went back to Argy. I saw him here in Brixton last year and he moved back.

Alejandro is living in Mexico now.

Unfortunately he doesn't seem to hang out here, but many other knowledgable Somericans* do.

* Just made that up. Usable?

I want to like it, but it doesn't work. I always read it as "Some-ricans" instead of "So-mericans."

Frickin' English. I think it would work better in Castellano: "Somericanos".

unknown

No, it doesn't work.
Just call us South Americans... no need to make new words up! ;-)

> I always read it as "Some-ricans"

Boumas in action, baby!

> "South Americans"

Too long. Brevity is honey to communication.

Not always... Brevity often leads to mis-communication.
Besides, you must admit that "Somericans" doesn't sound good. :-)

Natalia's work is a custom typefaces.... like my Estrada Hand too.
http://www.sudtipos.com.ar/servicios.htm

There are some characters shapes in education here that doesnt fix with the existing tyefaces.

In my case, Editorial Estrada called me because they were using a handwriting font to teach 6 years old childs to write. But the problem was that the teachers seems to use diferent characters than the editorial used at the book. So... childs were confused and we had to develope a lot of changes at the original font..

Sorry for my english

hi, Tiffany.

I worked with Natalia at the same publisher where she developed her typeface (it was done for a series of schoolbooks), and I'm pretty sure the typeface belongs to the publisher, called Puerto de Palos (http://www.puertodepalos.com). Natalia no longer works there, but I could send you the current art director's contact info (it's not on their website). Or you could just contact Natalia (see Hrant's message above). Let me know what you think.

btw, Natalia posted here once, on a Hispanic Community thread:

her message is at the very end. :-)
