      All looks lovely. Just one point: your capital 'A' with the ring diacritic leaps out at me. Merging the circle with the letter seems wrong to me, but I'm sure you put much thought into this decision. Could you comment?

Update #8: Montserrat en el diario // Montserrat in the news

Posted on April 16

Ayer salió una nota sobre la tipografía Montserrat en el diario La Nación, uno de los periódicos nacionales más importantes de Argentina. Salió ilustrada con la postal (que ya deben estar por recibir). Le agradezco muy especialmente a Silvana Moreno –quien ya hizo otra nota antes– por su interés y dedicación. La nota causó sensación y era un buen motivo para compartir. Las recompensas ya están en viaje. Espero que les lleguen pronto. ¿Alguien ya recibió sus recompensas?

La Nación, one of the major national newspapers in Argentina, published an article on the Montserrat Typeface. It was illustrated with the postcard (which you should get real soon). Special thanks to Silvana Moreno, who had already written another article before, for her dedication and careful attention. The article was a hit and thus, a good reason to share it. The rewards are on their way; I hope you get them real soon now. Did anyone already received their rewards?

      Hello, thank you so much for your beautiful words! I am waiting that the new variants will be uploaded... And thinking new things for the future!!!!

Update #6: Typography heals // La tipografía cura

Posted on March 23

Hello, happy spring/autumn! I am very sorry for my delay! I'm back.

Pharmacies (drugstores) are among the few shops that survived with signs made with techniques that predate the digital age. They are mostly made with materials like neon and metal to identify with healing. And they are made in Montserrat to cure all illness.

PS: Rewards are ready. You'll get a survay to verify the address where I'll be sending the stuff. Variant versions are on their way.

Hola! feliz otoño/primavera. Perdón por mi demora; aquí de nuevo:

Las farmacias son de los pocos locales comerciales que han logrado sobrevivir con marquesinas elaboradas con tecnicas previas a la era digital. Abundan los materiales como neón, y metal para identificar la sanación. Y están hechos en Montserrat para curar todos los males.

PD: Las recompensas están listas. Les llegará la encuesta para verificar el domicilio adonde les haré llegar las cosas. Las variantes vienen en camino.

Update #5: Hola, feliz año desde Montserrat / Happy New Year from Montserrat

Posted on January 7

Sé que es un poco tarde y no es muy nuevo lo que voy a decir pero, feliz año nuevo! Quiero presentarles las remeras de Montserrat esperando que me disculpen por la demora :–) Verán a continuación la favorita, la elegida que recibirán; espero que les guste. El propósito es homenajear las letras. Las remeras posteriores son parte del proceso de diseño.

I know its a little bit late, and there is nothing new in this words but I want to wish you, Happy New Year! and I would like to introduce you to the shirts of Montserrat, hoping that you can forgive me for the delay :-) You will see first the chosen one, the favourite one that you will receive; I hope you like. The purpose is to honor the letters.. The following shirts are part of the design process.
